Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Sumptuously set and filmed, it's too bad that they couldn't have found more interesting things to say or do when not running around naked. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 31, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael F One of those entertaining films, which made an immediate impression, and which as a family we've frequently rewatched. It's become a cult film in the family, and we can quote huge chunks of dialogue. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
