One of the smarter, more likable attempts at neo-screwball comedy to hit the screen in a while.
Misha Berson, Seattle Times

Getting all the film references means you have to be a bit of a film buff yourself, but it's not essential to the enjoyment of this lighthearted satire.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
Doyle should have spent more time on the story and less time in the video store searching for inspiration.
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Rotten
It feels churlish to complain about its borrowings from other films. But it feels insubstantial and redundant.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
