The film is hilariously indifferent to the conundrum of the plot, but it is sustained, just about, by the buoyancy of its mood.

A bad remake of a good movie.

Demme's movie is so benign--he likes all his characters, even the villains--it feels like a game of "let's pretend." It's a movie for movie lovers--playful, hip and light as a feather.

[T]he movie is a joyless, dull affair, resulting in something completely unnecessary.
