Everything bad about Spielberg in one bulging package.

Over the top Spielberg comedy, most noted for effects and Belushi.

Unworkable farce, it maybe, but it is also blessed with the buzz of brilliance.

It aims at screwball comedy and falls on its face.

I love 1941. I don't apologize to you, or my fellow critics, or even Spielberg for that.
