Critic Reviews

Ella Taylor

Sarandon's motherly sexiness is appealing, but it's Hawn, in a warm and deep performance as the hapless but free-spirited Suzette, who walks away with the movie. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Some numbers: Hawn and Sarandon (both 56) are arguably the first women in American popular culture to be pushing 60 and sexy. Hard to believe, but when Joan Crawford and Bette Davis were comparable ages (59 and 54), they were the frightening gargoyles of "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" Read full review

William Arnold

Hawn mows down everything in her path with a giggle. It's great fun to watch her just eat up this movie. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The conflict between Hawn, who prizes her freedom, and Sarandon, who values her family, is pretty rich; it reminded me of the friendship between Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft in "The Turning Point." Read full review

Claudia Puig

Because Sarandon is such a good actress, she makes the movie watchable, and there are a couple of laughs to be had. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Certainly begins with its heart in the right place. But the movie eventually snaps under the strain of its plot contrivances and its need to reassure. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

From opening to closing credits, there isn't a single genuine moment -- as phony as a dime bag of oregano. Read full review
