Washington Post
It's a terrific movie. - 100
San Francisco Examiner
A movie that has an odd plot, quirky characters and a real edge, but it's not in-your-face, a re-invention of a genre or a smirky independent. It's different because it's flat-out great. - 90
Film.com
[Roos's] dialogue (including an on-and-off voiceover by Ricci's pregnant, runaway sociopath) has a ringing clarity, his satire is low-key but quite real, and his actors mesh so perfectly you'd swear they rehearsed for months before shooting. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
The De-Dee character subverts those expectations; she shoots the legs out from under the movie with perfectly timed zingers. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
The wonder of it all is how bitterly funny the complications are, especially as filtered through Dedee's monstrously self-centered voice-over. - 70
Film.com
For all the cynicism on the soundtrack and the occasional lapses in tone, this is a remarkably generous comedy. - 60
Film Threat
It's an excellent date film, but it won't change your life. - 40
The A.V. Club
Consistently clever without ever being funny. The film is so in love with its own carefully calibrated outrageousness that it doesn't bother to give its characters any depth beyond sitcom-level stereotypes.
