Queen Latifah gives a spectacular performance in this hugely enjoyable wish-fulfillment fantasy.

We may know exactly where we're going, but the journey is so much fun, all but the most peevish audience members will find it impossible to complain.

Queen Latifah finally gets a vehicle that gives her formidable talents and expansive spirit plenty of blooming room.

Director Wayne Wang stumbles through the awkward script without finding its shape or its tone, steering it toward maturity while the script falls back into slapstick sports gags and adolescent social politics.
By Sean Axmaker FULL REVIEW

Likable as she is, Latifah can't overcome a tortured mistaken-identity plot, buffoonery on the ski slopes, and enough saccharine dialogue to induce shock.
