Featured review
It does a great job of capturing the pace, rhythm and snappy dialog of a genuine 1930s-era film, with plenty of satire and just good-old fashioned funny dialog.
Another reviewer compared it to Airplane, and I see what they mean. Both take a genre of film that has a very specific style, and honors that style while still doing a parody of it.
The short 75 minute runtime is similar to that of many films from the 1930s, back before two and a half hours become the norm. It also allows them to keep the pace up, which is a key element to this kind of film.
The twist near the end actually caught me by surprise!
All in all, a very enjoyable film. Might watch it again with friends, especially if they're movie buffs.

- TriviaOn the wall at the Keystone is an "old" newspaper story that says the Brooklyn Dodgers won the 1986 World Series. The subtitle of the article reads, "Dodgers Will be in NYC Forever, Vow Owners." In reality, the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, and the New York Mets, from Brooklyn's neighboring borough of Queens, won the 1986 World Series defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-3.
