My reaction
Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent) It tries too hard (and fails) to have the feel of a golden era Hollywood film.
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent). Points off for bad sound mixing.
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent). It's all very good music, but the movie would have been much more watchable without it. It's like someone's messing with a radio while you're trying to watch the movie.
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). John Ritter is funny sometimes, and some of the rest of the cast have a strange charm. It's all very pointless and meandering.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
