Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's decent mass consumption entertainment, but there's not much in the way of meat.
– James Berardinelli,
ReelViews,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
An engagingly acted, likable, fried green Thelma & Louise.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Roos and Ross (and I promise never to put those names together again) are so busy jerking the audience from wacky to teary, and back again, they seem blithely unaware of the howling melodrama of it all.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The entire film feels like the result of a market study.
– Stanley Kauffmann,
The New Republic,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The three women are so spirited and funny -- so emotionally keyed into all the hearts and flowers -- that they give the movie their own kind of truth.
– Peter Rainer,
Los Angeles Times,
