| NewsBlazePrairie MillerA never less than astonishing procession of real and make-believe oddball characters joining one another for food or sex. A wildly buoyant tale of a geriatric imagination fired up on mental viagra. |
| Washington PostJohn AndersonA film that might be called stubbornly magical. |
