Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
With a reach that frequently falls short, higher wit and sexual sophistication crumble into plain old silliness.

rotten:
Devoid of life, intelligence, humor, and anything else that could entertain even the most undemanding viewer, this film is a perfect example of something that should have been shipped to landfills, not multiplexes.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
A precipitous comedic falloff in the third quarter earns the film a qualified recommendation at best.

fresh:
A trifle, a silly one at that, but it's a charming trifle that's hard to resist.

rotten:
The movie offers up too many airy spiritual lessons in the hope of crossing from farce to sentiment.
