Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There is absolutely nothing that hasn't been said more compellingly and originally somewhere else, and said often.
The story's third-act detour into tragedy is predictable and unwelcome, providing a resolution that is too pat and familiar to be moving.
By the time it's over you'll be able to fill a bumper sticker with everything you've learned.
The screenplay has huge holes, character motivations are inexplicable, the tone switches from serious to loopy and back to serious, and the editing is choppy and uneven.
