There's no rhythm or style to any of it, just the dismal feeling that the filmmakers have seen La Cage Aux Folles and The Godfather too many times.
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic
Rotten
An overloaded, slow-moving series of predictable jokes and forced situations.
Dave Kehr, New York Times
Rotten
First-timer Coury's fast pace can't outrun Joseph Triebwasser's predictable script, saddled with mobster cliches and queer stereotypes.
Jorge Morales, Village Voice
Fresh
Predictable fun, but fun all the same.
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News
