Altman loves to explode movie genres, and his script, co-written with Frank Barhydt, fuses the classic '30s screwball comedy and crime film.

It could never for an instant be mistaken for anything but a Robert Altman film, and that counts for a lot.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Jennifer Jason Leigh and Miranda Richardson are synergetic perfection as social opposites thrown together for 24 hours in a 1934 hot town.
Mike Clark, USA Today
Rotten
A sadly ordinary motion picture, and, in less sure hands, it might have been something of an unfortunate mess. Even with Altman at the helm, however, it manages to be singularly unremarkable.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Would someone throw a net over Jennifer Jason Leigh? She's at it again.
