Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It has all the right moves. It knows all the right words. Its characters have all the right clothes, expressions, fears, lusts and ambitions. But there's no payoff and it doesn't lead anywhere.
– Roger Ebert,

23 Oct 2004
fresh:
Funny and ferociously smart.
– Richard Corliss,

rotten:
There is no place for depth or nuance in this slickly engineered complacency machine.

fresh:
An irresistibly satisfying cultural artifact.

rotten:
Characters are generally middle-of-the-roaders, and pic lacks a tough-minded spokesman who might bring them all up short for a moment.
