Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Most of the jokes that might have seemed jolly fun on stage now appear obvious and even flat. The sparkle's gone.

rotten:
The wit is too weak to sustain a film, and the songs all sound the same.

fresh:
A string of hummable songs gives it momentum, Gray's admirably straight-faced narrator holds it together, and a run on black lingerie takes care of almost everything else.

rotten:
Viewed on video simply as a movie, without the midnight sideshow, it's cheerful and silly, and kind of sweet, and forgettable.
