A muddle from beginning to end. And Tarantino in small doses as an actor is fine. He's in this one much too much.

Tarantino as an actor... Too bad he didn't write it. The script makes no sense.

Wildly uneven film that proves, if nothing else, Quentin Tarantino can't act.

As it moves along, the whimsy becomes less amusing, the dialogue less clever, and in the end there are too many questions left unanswered.
