      Washington Post

      That cameraderie is bound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      Pimenthal's script consists of the scantiest storyline, framed around a succession of strained Farrelly Brothers-style gags that feel as though they were peeled off the floor of the editing room for "There's Something About Mary."

      USA Today

      Aspires to be a cinematic "Sex and the City," but it's more like South Park Goes West.

      You walk away wishing they had more than this scant and often shoddy material with which to enjoy their rollicking and racy good time.

      New York Post

      An awkward hybrid of genres that just doesn't work.

      Film Threat

      A sour attempt at making a Farrelly Brothers-style, down-and-dirty laugher for the female set.

      Portland Oregonian

      Garners only a few chuckles, becoming, even in its short running time, boring.

      New York Daily News

      This vulgar, equal-opportunity chick flick aims pretty low.
