The experience of seeing a play adapted for the big screen remains that of watching a play, even when it’s a smart and skillfully crafted one. This movie combines humor with pointed social commentary by presenting a wealthy New York couple who are easily tricked by a homeless man. Through some clever manipulation, he manages to gain access to their home and stay there. While not flawless and somewhat slow-paced, relying heavily on extended conversations, the film proves effective if viewers allow it the space to unfold as intended. It’s not exactly accessible viewing; the dialogue-driven nature and the sophisticated way those conversations are written might deter some audiences. The movie largely feels like a stage production, which can occasionally become wearing. Will Smith delivers a standout performance that carries the film, representing a significant step in his career and paving the way for more substantial roles. It’s considered one of his best films to date. Donald Sutherland and Stockard Channing also provide memorable performances as the wealthy art dealers who are so easily fooled by Smith's character. Ian McKellen lends support in a quieter role. From a technical standpoint, it appears to have been made on a modest budget, with much of the action confined to the couple’s apartment and a limited setting. There aren't any remarkable visual or special effects; the sound design is understated, and the soundtrack features familiar songs used effectively. The cinematography reflects typical 1990s standards, giving the film a somewhat dated feel.
