    Saw it with a friend in the theatre who said, as he cringed in his seat, "It's like gargling with acid!" Marvelous, intelligent film.

    One of the most flawless comedies to be released in American cinemas in the last thirty years. Brilliant.

    [Roos's] dialogue (including an on-and-off voiceover by Ricci's pregnant, runaway sociopath) has a ringing clarity, his satire is low-key but quite real, and his actors mesh so perfectly you'd swear they rehearsed for months before shooting.

    Consistently clever without ever being funny. The film is so in love with its own carefully calibrated outrageousness that it doesn't bother to give its characters any depth beyond sitcom-level stereotypes.

    The De-Dee character subverts those expectations; she shoots the legs out from under the movie with perfectly timed zingers.
