Seattle Post-Intelligencer
This isn't the Bollywood blast of color and song or the brassy razzle-dazzle of "Chicago," but a quieter, sweeter approach that works against the chaotic comedy while humanizing the characters. - 63
New York Post
Funny and frothy sex comedy from Spain with a very appealing cast -- and mediocre musical numbers. - 60
The New York Times
A satire of contemporary sexual warfare that leaves you smiling but also stung. - 50
Baltimore Sun
Too bad it doesn't deserve to fold the bedsheets of Paul Mazursky's L.A. roundelay "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (1969). - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Emilio Martinez-Lazaro fails to provide a consistent tone for his movie, which totters between earnest realism and camp. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Consistently sleek but works best if no more is expected of it than a mild diversion. - 40
Dallas Observer
The film is smart enough to aim for farce rather than whimsy or reality. The songs are still bland--"I hid the alarm clock," "too much lipstick"--but at least the characters are somewhat entertaining. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The dancing is dazzling in director Emilio Martínez-Lázaro's The Other Side of the Bed, but the movie itself is a dud.
