Rotten
Despite an excellent and promising cast, this Hollywood attempt at a mainstream feminist comedy is flabby and bland.

[Parton] is, on the basis of this one film, a natural-born movie star, a performer who holds our attention so easily that it's hard to believe it's her first film.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
It's clearly a movie that began as someone's bright idea, which then went into production before anyone had time to give it a well-defined personality.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

Although it can probably be argued that Patricia Resnick and director Colin Higgins' script [from a story by Resnick] at times borders on the inane, the bottom line is that this picture is a lot of fun.
