The performances are solid, even when the roles are aggressively whimsical.

You can see what's coming five minutes into the movie, but capable acting lends it a certain superficial charm.

Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
An overly ambitious, overly complex and overly long opus that bites off more than it can chew.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
