Bujold has the frazzled hauteur of an aging, neglected star, and Spelling is nicely glazed, studiously artless. But the film is keyed to Posey's performance: perfectly brittle, faultlessly false.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Overview
Jackie-O is anxiously awaiting the visit of her brother home for Thanksgiving, but isn't expecting him to bring a friend — and she's even more shocked to learn that this friend is his fiance. It soon becomes clear that her obsession with Jackie Kennedy is nothing compared to her obsession with her brother, and she isn't the only member of the family with problems.

[Waters] manages to open up the text while maintaining its perilous mix of arch wit, pathos and suspense.

There's something quite lethal about Parker Posey in pearls, and for that inspiration director Mark Waters deserves our gratitude.
Derek Adams, Time Out

This is a definitive Posey performance: wide-eyed, smiling and ultrafeminine, but plastic and cold as a store mannequin.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
There are many gaping holes between the funny moments.
