TV Guide Magazine

It would have been better off if the casting were more believable, the acting more honest, the emphasis off the obvious sexuality, and the script destroyed before production began.

Miami Herald

An homage to the original so shabbily made and so witless that we can only hope it disappears into history -- and fast. [06 Apr 1984, p.D1]

This movie has nothing to do with the song and the 1960 movie whose name it appropriates. It isn't a sequel and isn't a remake and isn't, in fact, much of anything.

By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Dumb, vulgar and mostly humorless.
