80A great-looking picture that zips along with grace, light on its feet but possessed of just enough gravity to allow us to take its people rather than its old TV series premise seriously.
-
50Has an intriguing cast, a director who knows how to use his camera and a lot of sly humor. Shame about the story. When you see this many of the right elements in a lame movie, you wonder how close they came to making a better one.
-
30Bad, but not criminally so.
-
30No one expects much from movie adaptations of TV shows but complete incoherence and boredom is a bit too much to bear.
