Reception
Kevin Thomas, reviewing for The Los Angeles Times, gave the film a negative review: "something that might have been made by a band of thumb-nosing high school students... a nasty business that lays waste to its large, gifted and game cast".[1] Peter Travers summed up his review for Rolling Stone, "Downey has become what every true satirist fears most: outdated."[2]
