Boston Globe -
Nicholson, Hunt, and Kinnear will win you over as they turn the film into a valentine to New York's walking wounded.

Film.com -
Over the course of two-and-a-half hours, the film not only gets up on wobbly legs but learns to dance by the closing credits.

Portland Oregonian -
You'll laugh and cry at the film, but you'll bridle, too, at Brooks' clumsy technique.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
The result takes the audience on a screwball odyssey that mixes engaging twists with off-putting turns -- often fun, always watchable, but never quite as good as it could be.

Chicago Sun-Times -
There's so much good here, in the dialogue, the performances and the observation, that the movie succeeds at many moments even while pursuing its doomed grand design.
