The film has been getting good reviews by the critics. The SF Chronicle's "little man" is sitting and clapping in a review by Walter Addiego. Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gives it an "A-" in her review.

If you've been curious about what happens at the Crazy Horse but don't have a chance to go there in person, then see this movie. And $10.00 or so is a lot less expensive than airfare and hotels!
