MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..still a thoroughly charming, entertaining romp..”
by Rich Cline [Shadows on the Wall]
“..one of those rare mainstream buddy comedies that has both brains and heart..”
by Edward Douglas [Comingsoon]
“..emerges as a quirky yet commercial commingling of black comedy, seriocomic psychodrama, heart-tugging sudser and buddy-movie farce...”
by Joe Leydon [Variety at Sundance 2005]
