Variety by Guy Lodge
A likably lame rattletrap of a road movie that gets what limited spark it has from the “Dynasty” diva’s still-lascivious on-screen charisma.
Time Out London by Kate Lloyd
It’s badly paced, has too many plotlines crammed in and gives Joan’s character one-liners that come off as mean rather than Alexis-sassy.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
There’s little chemistry and less comic frisson, thanks in part to the weird seams of pettiness and condescension running through the script.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
There is a creeping and depressing awfulness to this sentimental silver-years comedy.
