Chicago Reader
Writer-director Mark Brown ruptures and restores the realism in this romantic comedy with ease, dispensing earnest wisdom with a little tongue in cheek instead of undermining it with a lot of irony. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
The best scenes are the ones that Fox shares with Tamala Jones, Wendy Raquel Robinson and the full-figured Monique as her sassy girlfriends. There's a ripe, crackling spontaneity when these women get together. - 50
USA Today
Women may appear a bit smarter here, but both sexes are portrayed as superficial and silly. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
Along comes Two Can Play That Game to demonstrate that antifeminist silliness is color-blind. - 40
Salon
Ultimately feels somewhat overprocessed, and its humor is a little too broad at times -- it probably crosses the acceptable threshold of penis and boob jokes. - 38
New York Daily News
Aside from the shamelessly promoted corporate sponsors, nobody emerges from this game a winner. But the biggest losers are the ones who paid good money to watch it. - 30
L.A. Weekly
Ultimately neither freewheeling enough to work as a diverting entertainment nor barbed enough to strike home as any sort of social commentary. - 30
Washington Post
Doesn't anyone get sick of this same old routine?
