Twitter Capsule: Zemeckis a modest image-maker but a comedy director worth relishing. Willis wobbles but women, script on fire.

VOR: ③  Refreshing to see visual effects lavished on a character-based and woman-centered comedy, whose stars take merry joy in their industry's idiocy. Conventional in other respects.
