"It really is the kind of movie they don't make anymore, on several
counts. First of all, it's a Runyonesque race-track comedy, a genre one
might well have thought past reviving. Second, its humor is gentle and
unpretentious: There's no going for hard, slam-bang yocks or elaborate
set-piece catastrophes requiring a legion of stunt people. Believe it or
not, the abundant humor in the sterling screenplay Ernest Morton
adapted from Jay Cronley's 'Good Vibes' actually derives from the
foibles of human nature and not from special effects."
