Women (Lisa Blake Richards, Mary Crosby) talk about food at a party for three who are turning 30, 40 and 50.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The movie makes its point early and often: That its characters are hung up on food, and eat for unhealthy and obsessive reasons. It's true. We know it's true. We wait in vain for additional insights.

Rated: 2/4

It's unsettling, subversively funny, and without a doubt Jaglom's best. [Full review in Spanish]

Goes on for too long and becomes overcooked, though parts of it are tasty in an idiosyncratic way.

Though largely shallow, Jaglom's high-concept serio-comedy is timely and has a few observant moments about women's food and beauty anxieties

Rated: C+

the 40 and 50 y/o actresses should switch roles: how can the 40 look like 60 and be celebrating her 40th birthday? poor casting. after this movie, everyone's gonna think we women all have issues with food and are always discontent. I disagree and am of the opinion that discontentment is a spiritual issue and not something that food or any emotional crutch can hope to address. finally, it gets too boring 2/3 into the movie to hear all the whining going on in that mad house!!

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
