New York Times - Janet Maslin (01/31/1997)

"...A madcap gem....A veritable triumph of tackiness..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (02/14/1997)

"...A sly and gleeful comedy showcase that pokes clever fun at the American musical, amateur theatricals and anything else that's not nailed down..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (01/31/1997)

"...It proceeds with a certain comic relentlessness from setup to payoff, and its deliberation is part of the fun..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (02/21/1997)

"This send-up of amateur theatrics was directed by the master of the mockumentary, Christopher Guest."
