Cool original camp. This is a fun little movie.

It's all enjoyable enough, but it's played so broadly that it loses whatever impact it might have had.

Saddled with both a script and direction that never comes near the wit or cleverness in Busch's own performance.

If this wearying exercise in camp, rib-nudging double entendres, rhyming gollyspeak and groovy-daddio! set design wrapped around a wan murder mystery sounds like an Annette Funicello movie gone to hell, it at least succeeds on one level.

It definitively skewers the false innocence of American pop culture on the eve of the countercultural deluge.

Awkward combination of garish set decoration and muffled humor.

Immaculate execution in every detail of one poor conception after another... uninspired, arrogant, and lazy.

Good belly laughs amid lower-key giddiness.

It's Back to the Beach writ saucy.

Sharp satire. Great fun.
