• Critic's Quotes

  1. "The film demonstrates all too vividly its creator's penchant for soap opera-style melodramatics, absurdly broad comedy and offensively stereotypical characterizations..." — The Hollywood Reporter
  2. "His films are hardly realistic, but they aren't exercises in pure escapism either. They offer comic relief and moral correction." — The New York Times
  3. "Gives off the distinct feeling that Perry is treading water or at the very least is content to satisfy his audience with the minimum." — LA Times
