Overview

At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club

The only magnetism generated by ersatz black-widow Fascination is that perilous urge to slow down and peek at the roadside wreck.
Eddie Cockrell, Variety
Rotten
The presence of Jacqueline Bisset is the only reason the little man hasn't left the chair.
George Powell, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Klaus Menzel's laughable screenplay is not enhanced by direction not much more accomplished than that of a typical Cinemax late-night adult series.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
