Skidoo patronises young and old alike, which is pretty much like cutting off both legs before a track meet.

Preminger seems unable to invest his film with any lightness or spontaneity.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

The movie, which has the form of comedy, is 98 minutes of disconnected story-conference ideas.
