United Kingdom | Empire | "It’s sexy, offbeat fun for the most part, but it’s way too laid-back for its own good and, in the end, obstinately refuses to be anything more than the sum of its highly promising parts. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie doesn't work. It meanders and drifts and riffs. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" | NEG |

United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "It's too loose and casual, all too willing to trade the writer's trademark wit and literary mischief for slapstick comedy." | NEG |
United States | New York Daily News | "A sexy crime story." | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "A film so boring, unsexy, styleless, sluggish and physically ugly that its badness seems almost intentional." | NEG |
United States | Philadelphia Inquirer | "Doesn't take itself seriously, and that's a good thing" | NEU |
