USA Today
A surprisingly funny, female-driven romp — as long as you don't question too many plot particulars. - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Very little of it works. - 30
Village Voice
Throughout this Americanization of the Luc Besson–scripted French hit, Latifah itches to check her watch, Fallon appears mortified, and only Ann-Margret mainlines any comic adrenalin. - 30
The New York Times
A bland, half-finished film that seems to have been conceived as off-peak cable fodder. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
Queen Latifah is a natural-born charmer, but there's only so much she can do when paired with a costar so irritating it's hard not to squirm when he's on the screen, which is most of the time. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
This thoroughly repetitive, ill-conceived and poorly executed effort -- with an emphasis on the word "effort" -- defeats these two talented people more often than not. - 30
Variety
Commits any number of comedic violations during an aimless pursuit of laughs. - 25
