Man of the Century

Summary:
A fast-paced, fast talking, farcical comedy starring Johnny Twennies (Frazier), a young newspaper reporter in modern day Manhattan who is absolutely convinced that he is living in the 1920's. (Fine Line Features)
The film's bemused but genuine respect for the ingenious obviousness of a bygone cinematic language is quite moving.
A lighter-than-air comedy than runs on pure fizz.
It's really too bad the film remains so resolutely flimsy, because the novice cast is so clearly delighted to be putting on a show, their glee is contagious enough to carry us along -- for a while.
Grows tiresome rather quickly.
