Stephen Holden, New York Times: [It] has its own brawling vitality. Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: It could never for an instant be mistaken for anything but a Robert Altman film, and that counts for a lot. Read more

Entertainment Weekly: Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A sadly ordinary motion picture, and, in less sure hands, it might have been something of an unfortunate mess. Even with Altman at the helm, however, it manages to be singularly unremarkable. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: All of the characters act as if somebody might come along someday and make a movie about them. And Altman, who made the movie, gets his chance to sit in at last on one of those cutting sessions. Read more

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: Would someone throw a net over Jennifer Jason Leigh? She's at it again. Read more

Jack Kroll, Newsweek: Altman loves to explode movie genres, and his script, co-written with Frank Barhydt, fuses the classic '30s screwball comedy and crime film. Read more
