Foster directs the film with a sure eye for the revealing little natural moment.

Rolling Stone
Foster keeps the party hopping, although more dark humor would have helped before she winds it down with sentiment and bromides.

Foster has whipped the actors into the sort of comic frenzy usually reserved for farce, and the ready-for-anything energy serves the material well.

The New York Times
Ms. Foster and the screenwriter, W. D. Richter, have given this film some peculiar mood swings, so that it starts out zanily and winds down to a wistful note.
