Variety Deborah Young

Despite a few potholes of ennui along the way, pic has enough entertainment value to cross borders and titillate auds with its plentiful nudity and uninhibited sexual mores.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

Although there's quite a bit of nudity and sex, the potentially sensationalistic story is acted with sincerity and directed with a creative eye.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

Despite a plethora of "naughty bits," it's a yawn.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Quickly turns into an earnest talkfest (spiced with flashes of nudity and sexually explicit dialogue) that feels stiffly programmatic and ultimately false.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Pascal's low-key presence is particularly important, since in another actor's hands Alain's whining and waffling could easily be insufferable.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Certainly sexy, entertaining and provocative -- in several senses of the word -- but it's also tiresome as only a French film can be when everyone in it has only sex and amour on his or her mind and is deadly serious about both.

LA Weekly Scott Foundas

Surprisingly unsexy, uninvolving affair.

Village Voice Dennis Lim

The characters exist in single dimensions (trapped in a noxiously misogynist role, even the fearless Richard stands no chance), and in an effort to keep the plates spinning, the movie quickly devolves from risqué to risible.

New York Post Megan Lehmann

The only feeling the character seems capable of is lust -- and when he hits on the male nurse looking after his newborn baby in the hospital, this hollow, unfunny "comedy" moves from merely tedious to nasty.

Robbert C. gave it a10:
This is a movie that opened my eyes to the ways of true love. It's one of the few movies, that I have seen, that I don't mind watching over and over again.

John P. gave it an 8:
Well-pacted, droll farce keeps you watching to see if any of the characters really has a heart.
