Pleasant, if inane - helped along by a likable cast that's clearly having fun.

Fresh
Saves itself from a complete belly flop by its good-natured charm.
Laremy Legel, Film.com
Rotten
Writer-director Tina Gordon Chism implies that people should accept each other for who they are, but with no genuine insight to back up this moral, it feels hollow.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The slapstick is often clunky, but Robinson has a sweet jester's disposition that keeps many of the gags from collapsing.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Fresh
It's often rote and by-the-numbers, but writer-director Tina Gordon Chism injects the proceedings with enough smart chat, clever situations and spot-on casting choices to make this well-traveled road feel a little less stale.
