	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Both fun and too fluffy (...) [It] maintains a tone of confectionary amorality, instead of building toward its logical climax."	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A funny-enough retread full of missed opportunities"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The setups are flat, the jokes don’t land and the actors don’t — or won’t — connect.(…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"[It] feels so fast and cheap that it's hard not to wonder why they've made it at all"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[It] deserves some credit for fulfilling its own modest, escapist ambitions. Unlike a lot of what we see these days, in movies and elsewhere, it doesn’t feel like a rip-off or a scam. It’s downright innocent."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Catastrophically unfunny (...) The incredible thing is that the film has many talented people who are entirely wasted (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Candice Frederick The Wrap	"Goes from a forward-thinking female-centered modern reimagining to a silly, empty, and entirely useless remake."	NEG
United States	Caroline Siede AV Club	"Bland and familiar, even if you’ve never seen its predecessor (...) To rise above the pack of tepid studio comedies, it needed more, well, hustle."	NEG
Canada	Sandy Schaefer Screen Rant	"[It] isn't painfully bad so much as it never really springs to life. There's certainly potential for something entertaining here, but the film shows gender-swapping on a superficial level"	NEG
