"... Brad Friedman does an amazing job with
some wickedly imaginative dialogue..."
"Friedman's witty script and sly direction offer a hilariously
skewed but
hearty salute to its predecessor and inspiration."
"... Writer-director Brad Friedman
inverts the intentions
of the film’s characters with a great deal of
affectionate fun..."
