Critics' reviews

"Well worth seeing for the incandescent Portman."

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Formula mother-brat stuff...It's only the deft teamwork of Portman and Sarandon that keeps the triteness at bay."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"The movie's interest is not in the plot, which is episodic and 'colorful,' but in the performances (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Mawkishly sentimental, plot-free and downright unamusing, the result should nevertheless prove a big hit with the beleagured parents of teenage kids (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Clark Collis: Empire
