New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
The characters she (Ephron) invents are not very interesting, and aside from the always reliable Travolta, the performances are uniformly aligned.

Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
The laughs are few in this inert, ungenerous comedy.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Painfully lame and hamstrung by a viciously unfunny sense of humor.

Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
At times, it's downright nasty; and that's when I like it best.

When Travolta plays, everybody has a good time.

Occasionally funny but mostly desperate, small-minded and uncompelling.

Nasty, regularly amusing black comedy.

Strictly a minor-league late fall entry.
