The film was reviewed by Dr. Barry Hummel on 4/6/2008.

Additional Comments:  I gave this one a "pro-tobacco" rating because of a comment made during one of the two smoking scenes. Early in the film, a servant ape lights up a cigarette for a customer at an outdoor cafe. The woman is then heard saying "Funny. Now that I know they won't kill me, I don't enjoy them." What does this imply? That tobacco isn't harmful in the future?
