    Awful, brainless, misogynist tripe.

    A silly empty movie that made little sense.

    Great premise, but too many plot holes need filling. Gibson too old for part. Direction subpar.

    I liked the concept of the film, and the first half was hilarious. However, the second half fell apart, and the film as a whole seemed to be preaching a stupid "men are bad, women are good" idea. This movie would have been a total turkey without gibson.

    Shallow characters the audience cares little about, an unbelievable situation rather than a potent plot, and, for those who don’t find men-in-pantyhose or poodle-poop jokes hilarious, not many funny lines.

    A wobbly fantasy that relies on the actor's mischievous energy and rakish charisma for its laughs.

    It's never subtle or clever, but it's big, loud and clear.
