Critic Reviews

  • David Ansen, Newsweek

    By the tepid ending, the movie appears to have been sedated.

    I really don't know what to say. It's nowhere near as bad as some people say it is, but it's definitely not what i'd call good. Nicole Kidman is actually the best part, she played Samantha just as good as her TV counterpart. Unsurprisingly, Will Ferrell took things… More
