An ungainly mix of flat-footed gumshoeing and strained attempts at hilarity, all delivered with an unconvincing Joizy vibe.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The movie has the by-the-numbers efficiency of a decent TV series, and about as much flavor.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Rotten
There have been notable exceptions, but Heigl tends to imbue her characters with an off-putting mix of insecurity and abrasiveness. This film is a prime example.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
I guess I can't call the movie sexist as it was largely produced, directed and written by women. So I'll settle for calling it dull, corny and amateurish instead.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
