| Three Movie BuffsScott NashPuts a sense of fun back into the movies that has been absent for quite some time. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekThe picture is almost shamefully entertaining, bold and self-effacing at once: Its intelligence reveals itself as a devilish gleam, not a pompous layer of shellac. Why can't more Hollywood movies be like this one? |
