A cheap bauble of a flick.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
The film has a desperate, disjointed feel that suggests the filmmakers realized it wasn't working and kept trying, ineffectually, to fix it.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
The entire film seems a series of disjointed pieces, a screenful of iron filings waiting in vain for the magnet that will line them up in a unified field.
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Rotten
Shyer's film denies us the double dip of vice and virtue. It's moralistic.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
