	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A film of great color and vitality, and while it is transcendentally silly, I rather enjoyed that quality (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"It feels more like a prosaic knockoff than a classically inspired original."	NEG
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"It's a lot more fun to watch than Almodovar's previous 'Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!', but those who miss the wildness of his premainstream work will probably be only partially appeased."	NEU
United States	Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"There's a sense that the director knows what he wants to say, but isn't too sure how to go about saying it (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The movie has a few chortles, but most of it is too canned and synthetic to be much fun."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mat Snow Empire	"That the film works at all and an unqualified triumph it ain't is down mostly to his star Victoria Abril (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
