...Stallone, who as a singer seems to have taken charisma lessons from his songwriter brother Frank, is game and good-spirited in a role that plays too heavily on urban oafishness. Rhinestone, though, belongs to the lady. Parton is an irresistible screen presence, cute and cuddlesome and just a mite raunchy, a sort of Daisy Mae West.

All together now: two cheers for Dolly! -By Richard Corliss...
Portraying the elderly landlady Fraulein Schneider and her suitor Herrr Schultz, Doretta Massardo and Michael Waxenburg, respectively, supply a good deal of low-keyed comedic charm.

...Sleeping Beauty, Christopher (Superman) Reeve is a goody-goody prince, a sort of prissy Cary Grant in a mail doublet. Bernadette Peters casts her spell as the princess who responds a mite too ardently to his wake-up kiss. The two also play their evil doppelgängers, giving a psychological twist to the old notion that fairy-tale characters are either all good or all bad. In this case, they are both. A gruff woodsman (George Dzundza) narrates the tale with the accent of a Borscht Belt comedian. "I gotta great princess for you," he tells the prince...
Thus, as part of his daily routine, Alpert commonly receives calls to identify and eliminate insects ranging from some of the most common pests, like clothes moths or carpet beetles, to some of the most exotic.
