2/4
Holland lets things peter out midway, but it's notably better acted -- and far less crass - than some other recent efforts in the burgeoning genre of films about black urban professionals. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 04/27/2002
3.5/5
A perfectly pleasant if slightly pokey comedy. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times 04/27/2002
3.5/5

2/5
