Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: F Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Sluggishly paced and too seldom funny... Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out The script lacks wit and depth, while Lawrence's direction is meandering and undramatic, full of showy, over-elaborate camera movements. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life Whitfield makes the movie interesting. May 31, 2022 Full Review TV Guide A thin line? Not in this case. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 12, 2009 Full Review Film4 Tiresome stuff, bearable only if you can overlook the questionable premise and find something to like in Lawrence's Eddie Murphy-lite turn.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, classic movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review TJ L instant Classic, a Beyond Authentic Portrayal of being a Womanizing PlayBoy in South Central Los Angeles California in the 90's, and the Harsh Consequences of it . . . The Movie 🎥 Teaches Us that even tho (Love and Hate) SEEM like Polar Opposites, they're Actually Closer than we Think 🤔because Sometimes the People we Love 💕 can Do Thing's to Make us HATE 😡 them Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Deone S An all time Classic Dramedy. A staple of the 90s. Martin Lawrence at his best in this coming of age spin on Fatal Attraction. One of my absolute favorites that never fails to entertain. "Here I come world! Here I come!", Hilarious! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
