Yeah, it's a melange of much, but, boy, is it ever a lot of slickly made fun.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

It's a good example of a lively Warner Brothers film, where the ensemble studio cast have a great chemistry together.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Harmless fun, the movie is more notable for its attractive stars and snappy dialogue than for anything that actually happens in the plot.
