	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[Keaton and Nicholson] bring so much experience, knowledge and humor to their characters that the film works in ways the screenplay might not have even hoped for (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS

United States	Peter Rainer New York Magazine	"Keaton at times manages to convert Meyers’s penchant for the obvious into something truly funny"	POS
