Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
McConaughey is insufferably smug as always, while the bewilderingly miscast Diva appears bored and impatient.
Jessica Winter, Village Voice
Rotten
Occasionally so inept and embarrassing that it's almost physically painful to sit through.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
It runs of romance and it runs out of laughs.
Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Rotten
So insipid, so willfully bland, that it will probably need no nips, tucks, trims or bleeps to be ready for flight play.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
