It definitively skewers the false innocence of American pop culture on the eve of the countercultural deluge.

It's too much filmed theater to come alive fully on the screen.

It's Back to the Beach writ saucy.

Saddled with both a script and direction that never comes near the wit or cleverness in Busch's own performance.

It's all enjoyable enough, but it's played so broadly that it loses whatever impact it might have had.

Immaculate execution in every detail of one poor conception after another... uninspired, arrogant, and lazy.

Sharp satire. Great fun.

If this wearying exercise in camp, rib-nudging double entendres, rhyming gollyspeak and groovy-daddio! set design wrapped around a wan murder mystery sounds like an Annette Funicello movie gone to hell, it at least succeeds on one level.

Cool original camp. This is a fun little movie.

Awkward combination of garish set decoration and muffled humor.
