Critic Reviews

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    spectacular misfire

  • Dan Lybarger, Nitrate Online

    An underrated and charmingly low-key comedy.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    Too silly to work, but occasionally appealing.

  • James Sanford, James Sanford on Film

  • Widgett Walls, Needcoffee.com

    What really marks this film in my mind is that Hurt and Reeves play opposite each other--and steal the movie from Kline.

    Black comedy with a great cast about a wife who tries to kill her husband after she catches him having an affair.

  • Tim S


    On the hotbead of the late 80's popularity of Kevin Kline and the early 90's indie scene, comes a cast of mostly unbelievable characters that come together to make a fun dark comedy. Lawrence Kasdan, who had recenly had a decent run with The Big Chill, Silverado and The… More
