Though it credits Mr. Altman and Barbara Shulgasser as writers, this film seems practically scriptless, to the point where much of it plays like a first rehearsal.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

The picture is not a social satire. It's a mess.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten

Altman and his writer, former Chicago Sun-Times reporter Barbara Shulgasser, should have gone further and been meaner; too many of his jokes are generic slapstick, instead of being aimed squarely at industry's targets.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

Despite some delicious moments, this sluggish, overlong, halfhearted satire feels like a movie that wanted to go somewhere but never got there.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
