A great-looking picture that zips along with grace, light on its feet but possessed of just enough gravity to allow us to take its people rather than its old TV series premise seriously.

Curiously enough plays like a 90-minute version of the old television show. That's not necessarily bad.
30
An exercise in robotic filmmaking.

You watch the movie in a dumbfounded stupor. Why on earth was it made? [26 March 1999, Friday, p.A]

Add another one to the scrap heap of trendy, nostalgic, 60's and 70's TV shows reduced to cinematic rubble by the inspiration starved minds in Hollywood.
10
Torturously boring.

Bound to wind up as one of 1999's worst films.

The three leads try to bring some life to this turkey, but the script is DOA. Even the jokes about it being a cliche fall flat. Not even worth it for irony. Skip it
