Fresh
A light, entertaining comedy with little, if any, redeeming value, other than a few good laughs.
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

Antoine decides to look for her, but doesn't let Louis know.

Although the ingredients are excellent, the result is an overcooked comedy more often provoking indigestion than laughter.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
A lightweight farce that remains enjoyable primarily for the time spent with Auteuil.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
French fluff at its creepiest: illogical, exasperating, overlong and based on characters who are just as empty as the creatures who inhabit Hollywood fluff.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Fresh
As the character gains confidence, Garcia tones down the tics and actually makes Louis likable.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
