"A flabby urban fairy tale" | ||
|
|
|
"The film belongs to Linney, whose caustic putdowns and status-seeking veneer barely hides her genuine hurt over her husband's philandering and her distant relationship to her own child" | ||
|
|
|
"The comedy has several inspired moments and a genuine flair for the satiric, but overall the film leaves you cold." | ||
|
|
|
"The social bite of the popular novel fades into a generic chick flick." | ||
|
|
|
"A film that is even more lightweight and clichéd than the fluff that was the best-selling book." | ||
|
|
|
"A late-summer delight, a sleek, handsomely made bauble buoyed by a cast much stronger than the flimsy material deserves." | ||
|
|
|
"Linney is once again the best thing in a movie that at most achieves a certain mediocrity" | ||
|
|
|
"Berman and Pulcini dress this film as an anthropological field diary and add several fabulous touches." | ||
|
|
|
"The movie's banal fantasies badly chafe any anthropological consideration of what a girl should do with her career. This isn't life. It's Lifetime." | ||
|
|
|
"Rarely rises above standard sitcom fare." |
