Critic Reviews of "Guarding Tess"
VarietySeptember 19, 2008The film is indeed likable. But director Hugh Wilson, who co-wrote the script with Peter Torokvei, just skims the surface of potentially rich territory.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Cage is on best behaviour here, but he's not an especially sympathetic performer.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Mr. Cage, once again sounding mock-suave and Elvisy, makes the most of his character's fragile cool.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Like the role itself, Cage is clearly in service here to a fabled but fading star, and he seldom slips on that second banana.
ReelViewsJanuary 01, 2000There are a few good jokes, some solid chemistry between the leads, and a little pathos, but it all doesn't add up to very much.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.
EmanuelLevy.ComJuly 12, 2011We have seen it before: The movie throws together two individuals (Shirley Maclaine and Nicolas Cage) who could not have been more different and then shows us how they learn to respect each other.
TV GuideSeptember 19, 2008Competently executed and entertaining, chiefly due to the first-rate performances of stars Cage and MacLaine.
Film4September 19, 2008Straightforward but enjoyable comedy that sees Cage and MacLaine going at it hammer and tongs -- although not in that sense.
Kalamazoo GazetteMarch 19, 2004A fun idea, blandly executed
Spirituality and PracticeJuly 18, 2003Speaks to the universal human yearning for someone to watch over us.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)June 16, 2003So-so sitcom-like star comedy.
