What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Kirk Honeycutt Polar opposites leave you feeling nothing but cold. | 5 | |
Die Burger Ronel Nel Onderontwikkelde karakters en ongeïnspireerde spel kelder egter dié komedie. | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The movie wants to be good-hearted but is somehow sort of grudging. | 10 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli The movie doesn't aim very high, preferring obvious jokes and pratfalls to anything that might require more effort. | 10 | |
ScreenIt Hampered by a lame script that offers few if any surprises or novelty, the cast members simply go through the motions. As a result, neither they nor the crew manage to generate the magic needed to make a genre flick like this deliver the goods. | 6 | |
