Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A sardonic fairy tale for the times, extremely well cast and directed.

rotten:
It's imitation hip.

fresh:
We get the sense of a live intelligence, rushing things ahead on the screen, not worrying whether we'll understand.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
One of Robert Altman's most charming exercises in cabaret humor and off-the-cuff modernism.

fresh:
Altman's unexpected follow-up to MASH is pitched fairly successfully between escapist fantasy and satirical comment on the same.
