I haven't seen a bigger mess in wide release since Dana Carvey's career-terminating The Master of Disguise.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

There are many grades of terrible in Hollywood, and this is pretty nearly the worst.
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Rotten
It's badly directed, poorly edited, and features some of the most unconvincing acting this side of a soup commercial.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
You always have to wonder why anybody says yes to a project like this one, but it's a particularly strange choice on Lopez's part, since she's done her best work in movies that dare to empower her.
Alex Pappademas, Grantland
