要不是贝蒂经常的表演真的看不下去了。。什么乱七八糟的。。
喜剧为追求效果被允许在多大程度上牺牲常识、逻辑和人物讨喜度真是很值得研究的问题……BD之外的角色都烦人得让我想一耳光把他们扇死。
太长而且过于聒噪了，这样的喜剧需要的只是适当的“聒噪”。贝蒂每次出场都让我精神一振。John Barrymor没演男主贝蒂一直不爽，"she'd rather have acted with him reading from cue cards than with anyone else"
fantastic screen play.

虽然在好莱坞的概念中，文化名人与狂热粉丝之家的关系总也躲不开摔伤轮椅和陷困，可那也不必非得沦为拔刀相向的黑色惊悚，它也可以是唇枪舌剑的怪人喜剧。三星半。
