- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A great-looking picture that zips along with grace, light on its feet but possessed of just enough gravity to allow us to take its people rather than its old TV series premise seriously."
-
"Has an intriguing cast, a director who knows how to use his camera and a lot of sly humor. Shame about the story"
-
"This is the kind of movie that isn't even worth renting when it comes out on video because, with the possible exception of Michael Lerner and Omar Epps dancing to show tunes, you've seen it all before."
-
"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."
-
"A sketchy, half-baked, stylistically inconsistent movie that scarcely even pretends to care whether it makes sense or not."
