Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Hit-and-mostly-miss retro comedy.
A light comedy, pure and simple (and hardly unfamiliar), but its makers sustain its energy through the unraveling of an intricate plot and bring to it a certain edge through a witty, sharp sense of observation.
This movie isn't merely disrespectful; it's contemptuous.
It gets by on personality.
