Critics' reviews

"A comedy of bad manners with many punchy moments"

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"As lifeless and unfunny as a corpse on a slab"

Jonathan Foreman: New York Post
"Pretty funny caper comedy"

Lisa Alspector: Chicago Reader
"The plot becomes a juggling act just when it should be a sprint. And there's another problem: Is it intended as a comedy, or not?"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Clever and diverting dark comedy."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
