Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

It would have been better off if the casting were more believable, the acting more honest, the emphasis off the obvious sexuality, and the script destroyed before production began. Read full review

Bill Cosford

An homage to the original so shabbily made and so witless that we can only hope it disappears into history -- and fast. [06 Apr 1984, p.D1]

Staff (Not Credited)

The first version played with moral dilemmas but reached only Bible-class conclusions. By '84 independent and liberated women can pay to see themselves represented as slutty, avaricious and brutal. Read full review

Roger Ebert

This movie has nothing to do with the song and the 1960 movie whose name it appropriates. It isn't a sequel and isn't a remake and isn't, in fact, much of anything. Read full review

Janet Maslin

Dumb, vulgar and mostly humorless. Read full review
