The film is predictable and its humor is tension free.
Peter L'Official, Village Voice
Rotten
I say sometimes that scripts get rewritten too much. I don't know if this one got rewritten too much or not enough, but I wish they had given it another go and tried to strike a more consistent tone.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
The timing of nearly every gag is just half a beat off, and that half-beat is a killer.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Let's just say that, on the charge of comedic intentions, the cinematic jury is still out.
