Critic Reviews

  • , TIME Magazine

    This movie is in desperate need of an ace farceur like Preston Sturges.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    Mr. Rash has earnestness and a touch of eccentricity, but he doesn't have the lighthearted wit to keep this kind of comedy working.

  • Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat

    I maintain that, while it may be a failure, it's an ambitious failure.

  • , Film4

    A peculiar career choice for Fisher.

  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide

    Whose idea was this anyway?

    Under the Rainbow, have a interesting plot, but the screenplay is not creative and the humor is too silly.

  • Dean M


    While this comedy is not quite jam-packed with laughs, it certainly keeps your interest. Set in 1938, the impossible story centres around the making of <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>, assassination attempts on a duke and duchess, the nefarious doings of Nazi and Japanese spies… More

  • Anthony V


    Terrible and unfunny.
