Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film's not only funny and weird, it's oddly poignant.

fresh:
What in any other hands than Mitchell's might have been a sexual sight gag becomes a symbol of personal freedom and expression.

fresh:
Flamboyant, irreverent, naughty and oddly, profoundly moving.

fresh:
It is fairly short and fairly enjoyable.

rotten:
