San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann
So quick that the flat moments are rapidly, inevitably chased by a new gag.
Scarcely seems worth the expenditure of time, money and talent.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Hit-or-miss comedy at its best and worst: When it connects, the belly laughs are long and loud, but when it misses, the groans you'll be hearing are your own.
