- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for armchair detectives and fans of sharp satire. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. A good follow-up to The Thin Man or The Hard Way. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 46 min.

- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
