Review
"Not as wild as intended, but reasonably diverting just the same."--Boston Globe"Ventures into some corny (yet sweet) territory in resolving its central conflict, but it throws enough laughs at the viewer that at least some of them land."--New York Daily News"It's bluntly cheeky, it goes on for too long, but the concept keeps on giving."--Variety
