      An enjoyable female buddy caper -- more "Outrageous Fortune" than "Thelma and Louise."

      If one ignores reason, High Heels hums along well enough as a crime caper.

      This movie is every bit the mess its title makes it sound.

      L.A. Weekly

      Director Mel Smith (Bean) struggles to make up for the lack, clumsily juggling screwball dames and criminal elements, and trying to disguise the film's marked lack of vitality with split-screen tricks, jokey camera angles and a limp musical montage.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      It is a foul-mouthed British underworld comedy so they may be hoping it will attract the hip audience of films like "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."

      Los Angeles Times

      A broad and stale British crime comedy that wastes the considerable talent and presence of Minnie Driver.
