criticism

“Situation comedy based on superficial, worn-out gags based on the model of a US television series from the 1960s. What at that time could still be understood as a rebellion against social encrustations, in the form now presented seems stale and anachronistic. "

- Lexicon of international film

“Imagine the dumbest half hour sitcom you've ever seen and stretch it to 93 minutes by making it even thinner and more superficial. It's horrific. It doesn't even correspond to whatever it was that the television series ever made appealing. "

- Roger Ebert
