3.5/5  "Thurman and Lewis are hilarious throughout."
-- Annlee Ellingson, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

3/5  "Nair's attention to detail creates an impeccable sense of place, while Thurman and Lewis give what can easily be considered career-best performances."
-- Chris Gore, FILM THREAT

  "The emotional overload of female angst irreparably drags the film down."
-- Nigam Nuggehalli, CULTUREVULTURE.NET

C-  "Everything was as superficial as the forced New Jersey lowbrow accent Uma had."

  "The actors pull out all the stops in nearly every scene, but to diminishing effect. The characters never change."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

3/4  "Nair and writer Laura Cahill dare to build a movie around some flawed but rather unexceptional women, emerging with a fine character study that's short on plot but rich in the tiny revelations of real life."
-- Carla Meyer, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

  "Nice piece of work."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER
