Time Out
Time Out"For every wild ride through Manhattan by an imaginary Red Knight trailing billows of flame, there is a small, comic encounter in a more down-to-earth mode."

The New York Times"A disorganized, rambling and eccentric movie that contains some moments of truth, some moments of humor, and many moments of digression."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Although there are moments when the mixture of comedy, fantasy and drama don't come off, this is still an original, touching movie that is well worth the price of a ticket."
