Vibrant, snappy and surprisingly fresh. - 38
New York Daily News
Made in 1998, the picture sags beneath the leaden weight of its pre-millennial theme. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
It's all terribly schematic, thematically obvious and not in the least bit funny. - 30
The New York Times
Feels like an early rehearsal for a play where all the movement is being coordinated but the underlying emotional notes have yet to be set. - 25
Christian Science Monitor
Not even veteran talents like Dukakis and Scheider can surmount the artificial dialogue, arbitrary plot twists, and wan humor of this disappointing comedy-drama. - 20
L.A. Weekly
Talky and labored. - 9
