Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The best moments in this 1987 release belong to Dr. Steve Martin as a dentist with a professional yen for pain.

You can try not liking this adaptation of the Off-Broadway musical hit -- it has no polish and a pushy way with a gag -- but the movie sneaks up on you, about as subtly as Audrey II.

fresh:
A fractured, funny production transported rather reluctantly from the stage to the screen.

A full-blown movie musical, and quite a winning one.
