| Village VoiceJ. HobermanA veritable Parthenon of vulgarity and a supremely unfunny comedy that is pure eau de Fifty-Six. |
| Movie MomNell MinowWild combination of cartoonish farce with seminal rock performances. Those milk bottles! |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerTashlin's savage lampoon of American notions of success and fulfillment is hilarious and genuinely appealing. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceIf Tashlin had had the nerve, he would have romantically paired Jayne Mansfield with Little Richard and set race relations in the United States forward by about thirty years. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherSure, the scenery is splashy and sporty in color and CinemaScope. But the show is as meager and witless as a cheap pin-up magazine joke. |
| User ReviewAn TThis is a great movie. Jayne Mansfield is at her best. Some great tunes. Well worth a look. |
| User ReviewYves LJe l'ai vu c'est bon la musique est bonne et la Jane Mansfiel est surprenante! |
| User ReviewRory Fyfe SInteresting movie. Had loads of fifties rock singers and the beautiful Jayne Mansfield. It was a bit corny though. But still watchable. |
| User ReviewAddi MIs this the sexist film ever made? Probably |
| User ReviewEthanGreat fun -- watch the ur-rockers and enjoy. |
