Critics' reviews

"A comedy so anemic, so toxic, that even Dracula wouldn't bite (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"

Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer
"A shrunken, cowardly movie in deep denial of its true nature, which is far uglier than it is ever willing to admit."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"A deeply dispiriting movie, not just because it is grindingly bad but because Jane Fonda actually chose this for her comeback after a 15-year absence from the screen"

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"By Hollywood standards, a movie carried with such gusto by a 67-year-old woman has to be considered a miracle. And I'm not sorry to say I enjoyed watching her do it."

Wesley Morris: The New York Times
"A fairly tedious, stupid picture."

Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald
"It would take the dark wit of a Billy Wilder or a Coen brother--or at least a Neil Simon--to put across this kind of material."

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"How much better this would have been had someone like Brian De Palma stepped behind the camera"

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"It's a hoot to watch Fonda cut loose and mix it up with J. Lo, even when the laughs turn mean-spirited"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
