As a writer, Waters is best-known for creating Ryder's sharp black comedy, Heathers, and Bruce Willis' self-indulgent bomb, Hudson Hawk. As a director, he tends to waste actors, and he fails to establish a consistent comic tone.

There are a lot of laughs, good performances, and points for creativity.

Why not simply admit this is cheeseball porn, assembled with a slightly higher brand of cheese and nuts?

Philip Marchand, Toronto Star
Rotten

This film is headed quickly for DVD. In the video store, though, it isn't funny enough to be shelved in the comedy section nor dirty enough to be filed with the smut.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

What a sorry reunion for Ryder and writer-director Daniel Waters, who scripted her far better dark comedy Heathers back in 1989.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
