Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

A talent-stuffed assemblage of barbs and giddy musical numbers that shouldn't be written off as a feature flop -- but savored instead for the cult-ready collection of late-night satirical skits and misses it is.Read the full review

The New York Times | Stephen HoldenAdd Critic to Favorites

This is the kind of comedy in which the characters are construction-paper cutouts whose abrupt changes of heart are dictated entirely by the preposterous plot and not by psychological or social reality.Read the full review
