It’s clever and funny in spot, but less aesthetically nutritious than the hamburger Uma Thurman refuses to eat in the nightclub scene. The droll scenes – like the ones with the masked creep on the chain or Harvey Keitel as the Wolf – are very cute and clever in a wink-wink, nudge-nudge grad student bull session sort of way. It strokes one’s smartypants quotient very effectively. But ultimately, the movie lacks the twisted innocence of the sincerely sleazy and lowbrow films Tarantino reveres.
