A bland, occasionally phlegmatic pastiche of cliches and dull encounters.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Ultimately, this workplace fairy tale creates its own cheer. When its time is up, you'll feel like you've been in good company.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
If the rest of the movie were as good as Scarlett, we might give a damn.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
Fresh
A richly satisfying and darkly funny movie about, of all places, a workplace.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
