What to Know

Critics Consensus

This comedy is too slight to leave an impression, and its attempts at whimsy are not as funny as they could have been.

The comedy inherent in toupee gags gradually runs dry, and the interplay between the main characters sometimes doesn't offer enough sparks to pick up the slack. Go to Full Review Paul Clinton (CNN.com) CNN.com 12/26/2000
