COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Surreal and hilarious submitted by answer-beat on January 23, 2022, 8:48pm Recalls the screwball era in some ways, but way flashier and even more over the top. I feel like so many subsequent comedies have tried to do this style of ridiculous, out-of-proportion humor and failed at it. Plus it works as a satire of Hollywood/celebrity culture, especially Mansfield's character. I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Bravo.
