Quick Hit

The Comedy of Terrors either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands comfortably above water. More hit than miss, and that counts.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at SOLID.
