No B-movie fan, save perhaps the extremely obsessive for whom this is old hat, should miss it.

Film Threat Phil Hall
A diverting and delightful visit with two unheralded indie cinema veterans with a surplus amount of anecdotes and zany film clips.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Would have benefited from more flamboyant film clips and fewer folksy conversations with the garrulous old-timers it focuses on.

If you are a devotee of sleaze, you'll salivate at the prospect of Mau Mau Sex Sex, a fond and fawning look back at exploitation, or grindhouse, movies from the 1930s through the 1960s.
