Great sums of money were lavished on this dull attempt at humor that failed on almost every level.

Preminger seems unable to invest his film with any lightness or spontaneity.

Skidoo patronises young and old alike, which is pretty much like cutting off both legs before a track meet.

The movie, which has the form of comedy, is 98 minutes of disconnected story-conference ideas.

Preminger's acid trip, and a hilarious piece of vintage hipsterism.
