Kyle Smith, New York Post: Cody's satiric knocks on Christians couldn't be more blundering and obvious. Yet her dialogue is often funny, and the unusual three-way friendship is refreshing. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: The movie goes nowhere, and Ms. Cody's screenplay is relentlessly talky while standing still. Read more

Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice: The movie fits around its heroine the way a shell fits its turtle-it's like she secreted it. Read more
