Release and reception
The film was theatrically released on March 7, 1986, in Los Angeles, California. It grossed $24.562 in the United States and Canada.
Nina Darnton from The New York Times said: "If this seems like somewhat bizarre behavior for the man who is supposed to save us from lies, politicians and media manipulation, be assured that it isn't the most confusing aspect of the film. Also puzzling is why actors as fine as Jerry Orbach and Jessica Harper, who valiantly cope with the fact that their characters make cardboard figures look complex by comparison, ever became involved with this project. Michael Nouri seems slightly uncomfortable as Roger Blackwell, but it is fair to say that on the whole the actors didn't seem quite as confused as the audience did".
