	Media	Author	Review
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The movie's sexual politics are as contrived as its plot (...) But the slightly anachronistic absurdity of the conceit (...) gives the actors room to do some wonderful work"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What holds the stories and the characters together is the decency of Dr. T, and Gere seems wholly comfortable with the role (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		William Thomas Empire	"Sporadically witty, clever and well-observed, but haphazard plotting creates confusion and a lack of empathy leaves it curiously hollow (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] lacks the resonance of a major Altman film (...) but it’s a funny and ebullient look at a man in full confusion"
		Philip French The Guardian	"Gere seems embarrassed and puzzled by his role (...) This lifeless film never develops into anything"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"A gently provocative character study (...) An exceptionally detailed and often quite funny picture"
