Top Critics Reviews

The film is delightfully unpredictable, warm, nuanced. It's civilized entertainment.

Though you wouldn't know it from Hollywood's kids 'r us obsessions, directors actually can improve as they advance in age.

The he-said, she-said shenanigans suggest that high school may be eternal but autumn has its wisdom. In the last scene, the 78-year-old filmmaker brings his favorite conspirator back for a last dance -- it's a vintage performance that invites applause.

fresh:
There's a form of poetic justice in all this, and it gives the film, otherwise straitlaced, its jagged wit: Women on the lookout for love may be fools, but they make sure to turn the men who romance them into even bigger ones.

It's a solidly entertaining effort -- the kind of movie that can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates discerning comedy.
