Save for some eye-popping cameos, there's nothing very magic about this dated dog's breakfast of a movie.
09/10/07
A brazen, irreverent, and wild satire that hits more often than it misses.
09/10/07
A spotty, uneven satire (from the novel by Terry Southern) with a number of good yocks, but insufficient sustained wit or related action.

Top CriticThe result is a variety concert of a film in which most of the acts/jokes fall flat.

...drips with low-gloss British Mod Pop style and a would-be Richard Lester vibe, but with no clue about how to put its abundant British talent, chiefly Peter Sellers, to any worthy purpose beyond playing at adolescent cynicism.

Is it all of its era? Yes, most definitely. But it's also as relevant and funny and pointed as it ever was.

It's too long and too silly ("Very silly indeed!") to work in the long run, so feel free to start and stop it at will -- you won't miss a thing.

A curdled, unfunny satire made more painful by McGrath's inappropriately jubilant style.
