There are some terrific one-liners, most of them insults...But this is a string of character gags, not a film, and the narrative barely putters along.

Luckily, when the jokes hit, they hit hard, and it's almost always at least entertaining.

There's wonder here that films with quadruple the effects budget would kill for.

This one's for the screwball, the punsters and the satiricalists and adds up to one of the best times in theaters in years.
