Madonna's charisma as a personality has never translated particularly well to the big screen.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Rotten
John Schlesinger can't get a credible performance out of Madonna, he wastes Lynn Redgrave and Ileana Douglas, and he fails to locate the charm that Everett brought to Wedding.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
This movie remains full of high Hollywood cliches.

The moment the movie loses its lighthearted spirit is the moment it loses touch with reality.
