| Time OutEdward LawrensonThe results are slight but old-fashioned fun, Think less TS Eliot, more 'Carry On'. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineNot much is happening of any real interest. At least the sparky collection of characters helps overcome the film's corny tone. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeA strained exercise in dramaturgical gimmickry that would be trying even as fringe theater. |
| GuardianAndrew PulverThings only properly kick off in a frantic farce-like finale; by then the laboriousness of the plotting has taken its toll. |
