Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Some of the bits are hysterical, but others fall flat.
It does the hard work of being a light, smartly turned-out amusement, the sort of thing that's becoming more and more rare on the movie landscape these days.
May be one of the most glamorous, goofy and heartfelt films about failure ever made.
In this sprawling oglefest, such things as 'narrative' and 'story' are remote little abstractions indeed.
