A simple equation, perhaps, but when it comes to comedy, simpler is frequently funnier.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Serreau's direction is bright and confident, avoiding the saccharine pitfalls of the material.

Noisy, and not short of unison waddling walks.
Brian Case, Time Out
Rotten
Serreau is too self-consciously serious to embrace her stereotypes, thus to find new fun in them, and too academic to create characters that have comic lives of their own.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
