Richard Brody New Yorker Jolting special effects evoke the magnetic grip of the checkerboard pattern on the hapless hero, and macabre subplots don't dispel the collective gaiety of fanatical delusion. Dec 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Over 80 years old and it manages to be funnier than a lot of the comedies comming out nowadays. Short, incredibly simple, and a lot of good old fashion physical comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
