Rice does a fine job of juggling so many characters and moving smoothly among flashbacks without losing sight of the main story.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
What it doesn't have is drama or wisdom or comedy or heat, something to temper the banalities.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fresh
Not to say it isn't an enjoyable diversion. Just that it's also a superficial one.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
The glossy appearance and trappings may evoke standard Anglophile nostalgia, but below the veneer is a cynical portrait of bored, shallow Britons halfheartedly going through the motions of a celebration.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
