Washington Post
A witty, raunchy comedy, which proves that a well-written piece of business – oozing with sex, wit and nasty intrigue – works for any generation. - 80
Salon
The dirtiest-minded American movie in recent memory -- and an honestly corrupt entertaining picture is never anything to sneeze at. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
It crash-lands with an ending of soppy moralizing, but until the end, it's smart and merciless in the tradition of the original story. - 70
Film.com
The darkly comic tone is often just right, and the casting occasionally pays off. - 70
Newsweek
You won't be able to resist the film's ribaldry and cynicism. - 70
Chicago Reader
Neither the characters nor the events are exactly the same as those of the novel, but some of the same spirit comes across. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
