Critic Reviews

Peter Travers

Kudrow's Michele is a deadpan delight as she joins fellow misfit Romy (a deliciously funny Mira Sorvino). Read full review

Ruthe Stein

A frothy comedy with the most adorable buddies since "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Read full review

Roger Ebert

It has charm, a sly intelligence, and the courage to go for special effects sequences. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

A candy-colored, superficially fizzy revenge fantasy with a startlingly corrosive undercurrent of bitterness and frustration. Read full review

Robin Dougherty

As lightweight as it is, it's easy to feel real affection for the movie. Read full review

Susan Wloszczyna

Isn't smart enough to cut it as the ultimate blond joke. [25 April 1997, p. 4D]

Stephen Thompson

Kudrow and Sorvino aren't really given a script to work with; most jokes consist of the two women being vacuous together. Read full review

I had always heard this was a "guilty pleasure" or some kind of minor cult classic, and it being my own 10 year reunion this summer I thought I would finally check it out. Well I don't think it's either of those really, though I suppose guilty pleasure always fits to some degree.

It's a just alright, broad, semi-funny look at female friendship above all else. Mira Sorvino's accent is the scene stealer here, it's some kind of Californian valley girl monstrosity that takes on a life of its own throughout the movie. Is it just me or does it become more pronounced when she returns to Tucson, where no one has that accent? Is this a subtle shade of "acting" on her part, the accent an affectation she picked up in SoCal to distance herself from her terrible adolescence? There's also Justin Theroux who plays a cowboy with a goofy southern accent. I've got nothing for that one.… Expand
