Critics' reviews

"[It] is a meal of savory appetizers, not hearty cuisine — it works (or occasionally doesn’t) on a moment-to-moment basis, and some of those moments are pretty damn tasty."

Guy Lodge: Variety
"The actresses form one hell of a comedic partnership, but Alethea Jones' directorial debut is too scattered to stand out."

Kate Erbland: IndieWire
"Salty, sweet and fun to chew over (...) The actors natural charm keeps the proceedings buoyant (...) Plotwise, it’s all a bit of a loosey-goosey, likeable shambles"

Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter
"The film is lazily content to simply put its female characters through the potty-mouthed, gross-out comedy ringer (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"

Derek Smith: Slant
"A perfectly enjoyable way to spend 81 minutes (...) A familiar routine isn’t necessarily a bad one"

Kristen Yoonsoo Kim: Village Voice
