The brazen sentimentality at work here -- while effective in the context of what some might call "a chick flick"-- doesn't give the material much weight.
Brian Lowry, Variety
Rotten
This film mistakes action for energy, ridiculous circumstances for comedy, and a mismatched male/female pairing for romance.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
A watered-down star vehicle for chat queen Ricki Lake, the comedy lite has been flicked on none too delicately by director Richard Benjamin.
Mike Clark, USA Today
Rotten
This is more of a movie to see on video, on an empty night when you need something to hurl at the gloom.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
