      San Francisco Chronicle

      Curiously enough plays like a 90-minute version of the old television show. That's not necessarily bad.

      TV Guide Magazine

      No one expects much from movie adaptations of TV shows but complete incoherence and boredom is a bit too much to bear.

      An exercise in robotic filmmaking.

      Bad, but not criminally so.

      One of the most mindless, shamelessly lazy films.

      Austin Chronicle

      A sketchy, half-baked, stylistically inconsistent movie that scarcely even pretends to care whether it makes sense or not.

      Film Threat

      Add another one to the scrap heap of trendy, nostalgic, 60's and 70's TV shows reduced to cinematic rubble by the inspiration starved minds in Hollywood.

      Torturously boring.
