  1. This one's so much fun, it's worth taking the whole family.
  2. Writer-director Kirk Jones III keeps the movie resolutely brisk and light, twisting mildly this way and that but never detouring for long.
  3. Reviewed by: Derek Elley

    Bannen and the gawky Kelly, whose screen chemistry is vital to the film's success, make a delightful pair of stumbling shysters, and Jones' script weaves a sizable tapestry of other characters to flesh out the village.
  4. 60
    Writer-director Kirk Jones has the movie roll over, fetch and chase its own tail in order to make you love it.
