Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A piece of blandly enthusiastic, B-movie pulp.

The whole thing is good-natured enough, but increasingly mechanical.

Neat idea, peachy visuals, but there ain't much else to grip the imagination.

Plenty of energy has gone into making this a bustling, visually clever film with an amusing late-1930's stylishness, but the purpose of such effort is uncertain.

The film is awash in all kinds of surprises that are too juicy to reveal.
