Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The film tries very hard to be over the top, wacky and camp, but instead, it's flat as stale O'Doul's.
An unapologetically sloppy jumble of Roger Corman-style antics that could only hope to inspire their own drinking game.
A comedy that doesn't build, lacks structural integrity, and often falls flat. But it's also winningly loopy, with bizarre incidental ideas and performance riffing making for a series of parts that almost make up for the faults of the whole.
