Formulaic and distastefully fake, Townsend's modern fairy tale unsuccessfuly tries to combine the premise of Pretty Woman with the formats of the fish-out-of-water and culture-collision.
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Rotten
Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

A very funny movie.
