The co-stars genuinely like each other, and their pleasure is infectious.

Washington Post by Desson Thomson

Nothing more or less than a moneymaking encore. The story is functional. The performers assume their marks with almost flippant ease.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan

Feels out of shape and self-satisfied, as if it knew it didn't have to try very hard.

Charlotte Observer by Lawrence Toppman

Looks as if it were thrown together as carelessly as slum housing.
