New York Daily News
A stylish comedy low on amusement but high on sensuality. - 50
Portland Oregonian
Short on both life and laughs. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
It's hard to care even just a little when you have no idea what's at stake or why, be it Heaven or Hell. - 40
Chicago Reader
The color-coded cinematography is nice but the jokes are obvious and the dialogue drags whenever metaphysics gets brought up. - 38
New York Post
What starts as a fairly lighthearted satire ends in a tiresome, ultra-violent shootout -- and the film pretty much throws away the possibilities of Cruz's gender-bending role. - 38
Chicago Tribune
If the filmmakers wanted to talk so much, they should have just gotten together for a long, anecdote-filled, wine-soaked Spanish dinner party and amused themselves. - 30
The New York Times
An unfocused, overplotted, painfully derivative comic fantasy. - 30
The A.V. Club
This must all make sense to Yanes, somehow, but the film plays like a private joke with no punchline.
