Even at 95 minutes the film is often too slow and just not rewarding enough.

Director Penelope Spheeris, with her first major studio assignment (and eight-figure budget), delivers a colorful but uneventful picture.

Much of the credit for the film's success lies with Spheeris, whose confident if rough-edged direction keeps it on track and cooking.

A classic comedy! Proves Mike Myers was funny once.

This one was mildly clever and amusing. The sequel was utter crap. Tia Carerre is immaculate.
