Rating: 3.5/4 --
A brazen, irreverent, and wild satire that hits more often than it misses.

TV Guide
A curdled, unfunny satire made more painful by McGrath's inappropriately jubilant style.

Funny, uncomfortable and without an ounce of benevolence.

It's too long and too silly ("Very silly indeed!") to work in the long run, so feel free to start and stop it at will -- you won't miss a thing.

Is it all of its era? Yes, most definitely. But it's also as relevant and funny and pointed as it ever was.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Joseph McGrath's movie version remains an acerbic, late-Sixties dark comedy classic.
