Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution Too many exchanges are sitcom-smooth. Rated: C May 8, 2003 Full Review Megan Turner New York Post Middleton ... has assembled a clique of familiar, broadly drawn characters, but her film manages to rise above sitcom status, thanks to their sassy repartee. Rated: 2/4 Apr 5, 2002 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times A light, engaging, well-carpentered film, with a quick wit and a sense of character just deep enough to lend some weight to the laugh lines. Rated: 4/5 Apr 4, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 26, 2005 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Sitcom-ish but lively and amusing ensemble comedy that treats its intelligent, emotionally conflicted characters with respect... Rated: 3/4 May 15, 2003 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing Don't let the title fool you into dismissing this as another Steven Seagal action snooze. Rated: 3/4 May 13, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
