Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
