September 10, 2007
A brazen, irreverent, and wild satire that hits more often than it misses.

Funny, uncomfortable and without an ounce of benevolence.
September 10, 2007
A spotty, uneven satire (from the novel by Terry Southern) with a number of good yocks, but insufficient sustained wit or related action.
January 01, 2000
A curdled, unfunny satire made more painful by McGrath's inappropriately jubilant style.
