Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The moment the movie loses its lighthearted spirit is the moment it loses touch with reality.
– Stephen Holden,

rotten:
This movie remains full of high Hollywood cliches.
– Michael Wilmington,
Chicago Tribune,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
John Schlesinger can't get a credible performance out of Madonna, he wastes Lynn Redgrave and Ileana Douglas, and he fails to locate the charm that Everett brought to Wedding.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Madonna's charisma as a personality has never translated particularly well to the big screen.
– Stephanie Zacharek,
