The premise provides a fine showcase for the two appealing actresses, who appropriate each other's vocal and physical mannerisms with dead-on accuracy.
Ted Shen, Chicago Reader
Rotten
A likable but flimsy retread that's barely worth the effort.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Fresh
The material here may not be the freshest, but screenwriters Heather Hach and the redoubtable Leslie Dixon have buffed the dialogue until it sparkles like the finest cubic zirconium, and the cast is game from top to bottom.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

It's really a family film, deftly updated for the 2003 market, but still sweetly funny at its heart.
Jennifer Frey, Washington Post
