Industry Reviews
"Johnny Depp and crew have nothing on Vincente Minnelli's gaudy, giddy confection..." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly - Tim Purtell (07/27/2007)
"[Gene Kelly's] ever-present grin, muscular dancing, and torrentially physical acting are fascinating if not infectiously aggressive."
Film Comment - Kent Jones (07/01/2007)
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]his smart sendup of swashbucklers deserves its cult, thanks to Kelly's jockish footwork..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (07/27/2007)
