      A grave screwball comedy. Its gags aren't just hilarious -- they have a weighty, plaintive soul.

      One of the most subtle and inspired comedies you'll see this year.

      A mildly amusing but forgettable and way-too-scatological black farce.

      The story isn't nearly as funny or suspenseful as it would like to be, although the solid cast gives it occasional dashes of pizazz.

      Variety

      A textbook case in which the parts are greater than the whole.

      The big trouble here is that there seem to be pieces of three different films rubbing up against each other without ever fitting together.

      What use is journeyman acting, quality set design and a kicky, eclectic score in a movie that's so ineptly scripted?
