An enjoyable minor-league lark. But another "Notting Hill?" Fuhgeddaboutit.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
An abbondanza of busy, situation comedy twists that snip one's suspended disbelief and send it crashing like a chandelier.
It brings an enlivening wit to a comedy of culture collision.
Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
With preposterously convoluted plot twists, not even Grant is enough to make us smile all the way through the end.
Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector
Many of the gags rely on the incongruity of Grant's nervous, cultured character posing as an Italian-American stereotype, but they're subverted by his earnest relationship with his fiancee, whose affection hardly seems worth the trouble.
Salon by Mary Elizabeth Williams
An uninspired, recycled Mafia gags caper.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
A limply derivative, disappointingly trivial and hokey fish-out-of-water crime comedy.
Director Kelly Makin has a gift for casually tossed-off farce.
Atrocious comedy.
San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris
As insulting as taking the queen to the Olive Garden.
