--> '''Critic:''' "It's not like the film did poorly at the box office but got a surprising cult following over the years. Or that the critical reaction at the time was lukewarm at best, but recently is being declared as a timeless classic. And it's not like my need to please the masses is going to affect my opinion in any conceivable way. I'm just gonna praise it for the wonderful family romp that it is."
