Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
