Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

For all its contrivances, the film is cheerfully rude and surprisingly generous to the mothers, most of whom find sizzling new romances at an age when their American counterparts are reduced to sexless dithering or played as humiliating punch lines to jokes about horny old hags. Read full review

John Patterson

Although not quite as uproarious or as wickedly subversive as Pedro Almodóvar's more substantial body of work, Queens is content to scamper gaily in the wake of his achievements -- and to offer one more reason for old Franco to roll anew in his grave. Read full review

Bill White

The cast is perfect, but the script is like a low ceiling, keeping a lid on what should have been a confluence of riotous misadventures. Read full review

Jessica Reaves

If frenetic pacing alone made a movie interesting, Queens would be cinematic solid gold. Read full review

Jonathan Holland

A lively, well-packaged but meaningless amusement. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

V.A. Musetto

Warm and colorful spanish romp, should bring a smile to yourself even when it's a bit uneven. A nice little appetized for those eagerly awating Almodovar's "Volver". Lot's of cute refrences to Almodovar classics. Go just for the incredible cast if anything, who are all game Warm and colorful spanish romp, should bring a smile to yourself even when it's a bit uneven.
