Critical reception
Although TV Guide dismissed the film as an "Unmemorable comedy," Allmovie wrote "Some laughs, some tears, some pretzels, some beers. Come Back Peter went down easily in a brisk 80 minutes."[4][5]
gollark: Its score is actually identical.
gollark: ```scheme(define actually-forgiving-grudge (lambda (x y) (let* ( (defection-count (length (filter (lambda (m) (= m 1)) x))) (lookback (+ 1 (inexact->exact (floor (expt 1.8 defection-count))))) (result (if (member '(1 0) (take lookback (zip x y))) 1 0)) ) result)))```I think this detects betrayals properly now.
gollark: Wow, BEE the memq function?
gollark: We are investigating MANY things.
gollark: This is quite complex, but here you go.
