	Lewis Beale	No one will be surprised by the plot machinations that ensue, but the film is saved from utter tedium thanks to a relatively intelligent screenplay and the amiability of the leads. Full Review \| Comment \| Mar., 01 2007 03:21 AM	Film Journal International
2/5	Pablo Villaca	Um bom conceito (e n�o estou dizendo que este � bom) s� funciona quando amparado por um bom roteiro. E definitivamente n�o � isto que ocorre aqui. Full Review \| Comment \| Jun., 09 2006 06:19 PM	Cinema em Cena

	Urban Cinefile Critics	Bursting at the seams with lashings of heart, this is comedy at its broadest, with larger-than-life situations, a smartly sharp script and knock-out performances from an instantly likeable cast. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 03 2006 10:02 PM	Urban Cinefile
