John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture 01/18/2018
What [director Phyllis Nagy] has done is tailor this tabloid material to several different narrative tastes, which alternate as the movie shifts from love affair to temper tantrum to gunfire to murder trial and back again... Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 09/20/2005
Playwright Phyllis Nagy's film directorial bow is an uneven affair. Go to Full Review Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter 09/18/2005
The film was 'inspired' by Shana Alexander's book, but the tone comes straight out of the tabloids. This tone lies somewhere south of smugness but north of pure derision. Go to Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com 08/03/2006

It might not be up to the level of, say, Reversal of Fortune, but it's also far above your typical movie-of-the-week network filler. Go to Full Review Ross Anthony Hollywood Report Card 03/21/2006
2/4
The story is interesting, the characters are interesting, and while never boring, the picture never greatly impresses nor has much in the way of insight. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/10/2014 I find the fact that people are saying the movie wasn't interesting, laughable quite frankly. Anyone with any kind of depth, any understanding of psychology, any kind of challenging life experience would find plenty to enjoy in this film. See more 06/17/2013 Very Unconventional Kingsley in the house ! See more 01/08/2013 Despite the performances of two great actors, the story line is quite boring. Was there really a need to make a film just because he was a Bestseller of a diet book? See more 10/05/2012 This is a good story. It's not about weight loss, it's about obsessing on one person - co-dependencies. Always a pleasure to watch Annette Bening.
