Reviews
|
Variety -
A flat-out hilarious mainstream comedy.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
This buoyant, giddy comedy of catastrophe is the funniest film of the year so far, possibly the most amusing mainstream live-action comedy since "There's Something About Mary."
|
|
Salon -
De Niro's performance works because it isn't exactly likable -- he's totally at ease with his own jokes, but he's not out to make us feel relaxed.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
These two actors have a kind of genius for dark comedy: Stiller for suffering through crises and De Niro for creating them.
|
|
New York Post -
Part sitcom, part comedy of manners - but it lacks the courage to deal honestly with class and ethnicity.
