The story is pretty ridiculous from start to finish, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since the film doesn't take itself seriously at all.

Cranial scars; a robot in a yellow jumpsuit; gypsy thugs; catfights; Ted Raimi doing hip-hop; a mauve, tasseled Vespa; and a salad bar....C’mon: you know you want it.

A decent and diverting piece of work from perhaps the hardest-working man in movies.

A comedy that doesn't build, lacks structural integrity, and often falls flat. But it's also winningly loopy, with bizarre incidental ideas and performance riffing making for a series of parts that almost make up for the faults of the whole.

The image of Campbell slapping himself to the ground is the only gag that the movie doesn't beat to death.

The film tries very hard to be over the top, wacky and camp, but instead, it's flat as stale O'Doul's.

The type of movie you'd expect to find on TV late at night. Very late at night.

An unapologetically sloppy jumble of Roger Corman-style antics that could only hope to inspire their own drinking game.
