...beginning is obvious but fun. There is no doubt as to what happens to the girls, but there follows more than an hour of ponderous, redundant "evidence," the result of an Agatha Christie-type structure which, Weir irritatingly enough, never fulfills. Weir may be an artist--he certainly makes films that proclaim their profundity--but he seems grounded in camp, and the movie stays shallow...
...return, they let him know where they're at through the first dance sequence, Aquarius. The number, like all the rest, is infectuously buoyant. The camera unerringly swoons and follows the gliding choreography by Twyla Tharp: the film's greatest asset.

The redoubtable Burpee catalogue alone offers such enticements as the spacemaster cucumber, a pumpkin whose seeds can be eaten raw, and Sugar Bush watermelon, which represent years of genetic selection not only for flavor but -more important to the home gardener -for compact growth in a limited space...
