Critic Reviews
-
Cath Clarke, Time Out
If this is a comeback, let's hope J-Lo's got something else up her sleeve.
-
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
Why call it a movie when it's really more of an extended, cutesy TV episode that ought to come with a laugh track and a vibrator?
-
A.O. Scott, At the Movies
The premise was novel enough that I found it sweet and charming.
-
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Lopez does a fine job mortifying herself in pursuit of physical humor.
-
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
It's no big surprise that Lopez can still get laughs; she has a relaxed way with the camera that has mellowed and ripened over the years.
