Boston Globe
Starts out as a somewhat weary farce of infidelity, but turns into something a lot more gratifying, namely a comedy of mercy. - 63

Baltimore Sun
The surprise behind Town and Country isn't that the director started filming without a finished script, but that he ever thought he had the start of one. - 25
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
