Top CriticSmoothly constructed, for such a busy piece of work, and Hatcher's ascent to stardom continues.

Top CriticShallow characterisation, a script so laid-back you can almost hear it snoring and the occasional outburst of hokey dialogue lead to a movie a good deal less charming than it thinks it is.

Top CriticTo the director's credit, the actors all seem responsive to his touch, giving performances that are lively and flavorsome, if not deep or unlike anything each of them has done before.

Top CriticA sleek, amusingly nasty screen debut by a film maker whose television credits include an Amy Fisher docudrama.

Top CriticThere are too many characters, but some are a lot of fun. The tone shifts, from graphic murder to wig-flipping farce, are too extreme, but much of it works.

Top CriticThe plot underlies even the most inexplicable scenes and eventually links even the most widely separated characters, but what makes the movie fun is the dialogue and the behavior.
