Most delightful of the Super-series for its good-natured disregard of narrative considerations.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
Why even go to the trouble of making a movie that feels like it's laughing at itself?
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Miss Slater makes a four-square heroine of unrelenting sincerity; a sturdy ingenue, she is great fun to look at but hardly a live wire.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
Screenplay is filled with witty lines and enjoyable characters, but Jeannot Szwarc's direction is rather flat.
