I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
