A sloppy slapstick throwback to long gone bottom-of-the-bill fare like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.

More entertaining than much of the big-studio schlock out there.

While Peterson and her ageless alter ego keep an ironic detachment from the melodramatics, there's no irony in the end-title dedication to Price -- it obviously comes straight from the heart.
