  Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert

  It glories in its silliness, and the actors are permitted the sort of goofy acting that distinguished screwball comedy.

  USA TodayClaudia Puig

  Not only is it an unfunny movie shrilly told, it probably is the most ill-timed and appallingly insulting movie in recent memory.
