Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    Slap an ill-fitting dress on an ugly man and you have instant guffaws. That surefire vaudeville tactic guarantees this chaotic French farce a fair share of laughs.

  • Kris Wilton, Village Voice

    Aside from Laspalès's enlivening physical humor, Poiré's forced, formulaic comedy of errors has little to offer.

  • Ethan Alter, TV Guide's Movie Guide

    Plods along in slow motion when the action should be zippy and fun.
