Reviews & comments
Variety
pressCertainly one of the most offbeat films Walt Disney Productions has ever made, but it isn't one of the best.
Time Out
pressGood performances struggle gamely to overcome the increasingly predictable plot.
The New York Times
pressToward the end there are some amusing car-chase scenes. Elsewhere the humor is clotted by the feeling that the jokes are chasing the reactions, instead of the other way around.
