USER SCORE (15)

Generally favorable reviews based on 15 Reviews

The comedy is frantic and tasteless in the usual Waters mode, but it takes telling potshots at the Hollywood establishment, which isn't nearly so open about the tackiness of its products.

David Sterritt

Christian Science Monitor

A small, scruffy, but agreeably energized comedy.

Robert Horton

Film.com

Shrill and sloppy film.
