B
"It's amusing, entertaining and intriguing, even though the second half is shaky, as the film makes a seemingly uncomfortable transition into more serious material."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
" This zany screen adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel perfectly catches its funky portrait of idiosyncratic characters dealing with the craziness of human desire. "
