Executes its clever premise with journeyman competence instead of true wit.

RTThe Hollywood ReporterDec 31, 2004

The screenplay never quite lives up the cleverness of its premise, with the result that the proceedings never quite gather any comedic steam, though there are amusing moments along the way.

While there's never any serious doubt about how director Jordan Hawley's bittersweet comedy is going to end up, it's still a fun and silly-in-a- good-way ride to get there.
