This is an insignificant film with a passably entertaining premise that goes wildly to hell the instant it strays from its comic ideals with brief, unsatisfying detours into the realms of art and high-end lingerie.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Fresh
It is a well-dressed film filled with thought and sly observations.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
It pokes along like a Renault on an interstate, lacking drama or momentum.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
It's all perfectly pleasant, but the movie lacks an urgent dramatic pulse, or a clear sense of whose story it's supposed to be, or even, from scene to scene, whether it's meant to be a comedy, drama or thriller.
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
