San Francisco ExaminerBarbara Shulgasser
Amazing comic performances...give this comedy its lovely manic pace, kept just within the realm of sanity. Read full review

The New York TimesElvis Mitchell
The real fun here comes from watching Mr. Kline bounding through two archly good performances, Mr. Cleese coming hilariously unstrung in the presence of Ms. Curtis and all those adorable animals. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
With this cast, you are guaranteed moments of inspired lunacy. It's still fun watching Cleese get caught with his pants down. But the material seems familiar and overworked. Read full review
