Washington Post: Stephen Hunter
Blondes may or may not have more fun, but in this one case, they certainly provide more fun.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
If this Popsicle of a movie melts long before it's over, the first half has more good laughs than all of “Sweethearts.”Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
A featherweight comedy balanced between silliness and charm.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Susan Wloszczyna
Guilty of inciting a near-laugh riot thanks to an irresistible leading lady whose comic instincts are as impeccable as her manicure.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Smart screwball comedy that upends the stereotype of the airhead towhead.Read Full Review »

Slate: David Edelstein
I half-admire its exquisite balancing act, squeezing laughs out of its leading lady's wardrobe, vocabulary, gestures, and cretinously oblivious Beverly Hills sense of entitlement, while simultaneously demonstrating her brilliance, sturdy ethics, and unflappable egalitarianism.Read Full Review »
