Critic Reviews

Peter Travers

Owen Gleiberman

Nothing more than a sort of dumb, sort of clever fish out of water comedy. Read full review

Wesley Morris

In another universe - though it is difficult to imagine which one - Garry Shandling might be sexy. Read full review

Dennis Lim

[abdomen lights up]

Computer Voice: The access port is here.

[lights up]

Computer Voice: Insertion in any other access port will not result in pregnancy. To get the woman in a receptive mood for insertion, compliment her on these areas.

Computer Voice: She will also enjoy being told that she smells nice, and that her footwear is stylish.… Expand
