    Gosh, almost as pedantic as a Woody Allen movie. The characters are cardboard cutouts against the CGI backgrounds, which were a test-phase for Star Wars prequels. It's claustrophobic and annoying. I didn't want to be there.

    Fun, if slight, comedy from the Lucas stable.

    An overlooked gem of a overdone comedy with murder. It can be too fast paced, chaotic and simply hard to stand, but what I love the most about it is it's conviction to it's own silliness. It's a great addition to the mystery comedy genre.

    After overcoming an initially awkward 20 minutes, this farcical period piece finds its groove and generates a sense of madcap mayhem it manages to sustain until the end credits. Once again, Brian Benben shows what a severely underrated comedic presence he is.

    What a harsh plot description! This is a film I grew up watching and always enjoyed, even though it is an incredibly close remake of the Abbott and Costello film 'Who Done It?' The film does an amazing job capturing the actmosphere of 1930's radio with the integration of spot on ...( read more)music numbers and comercials. I also thought the perfomances were very strong, making a great use of the amazingly stellar and versatile cast.
