Whatever secrets the musicians may be keeping, we've been tacitly urged to examine our reasons for wanting to know them. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000

Barenaked Ladies is a real band, and a popular one. One reason for its appeal is that it's the Slim Whitman of rock bands: When members sing a song, it sounds like you could do it, too, about as well as they can. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 10/22/2006

They play the funny songs, but just when things threaten to get too lightweight, singer Steven Page lets loose with a riveting, scorchingly soulful rendition of 'Break Your Heart' to let everyone know they're not just clowning around. Go to Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com 11/08/2001
