Critical reception

  • TV Guide called the film an "innocuous comedy".[3]
  • Allmovie called the film "only fitfully funny, 'Stork Bites Man' is brightened by the presence of veteran burlesque comedian Gus Schilling, making a meal of his role as a nursery-supply peddler."[2]

gollark: They can. You can order things without mapping them to numbers.
gollark: Okay, I can go test this too?
gollark: > We have no idea what the numeric value of any bid is yet, right? We do not. There may not even be a numeric value.
gollark: > Here's a fun guess (not going to test it): the bid's value is the smallest prime factor of the SHA of the bid.Wouldn't that be rather slow to compute?
