    Labyrinth packs enough surprises to captivate an audience of children and provides enough wisecracking to keep adults laughing. show more

    I think mature pre-teens along with immature teens might relate to this overbearing showcase of bizarre rubber duckies. Adults are bound to find it a major yawn, and young children are likely to be scared out of their wits. [27 Jun 1986, p.82]
