| IFilmDave WhiteDang it if you won't laugh out loud through the whole thing! |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioIts stereotypes are insulting, its jokes are unfunny, and its emotions are labored. Sordid Lives is a sordid movie. |
| Apollo GuideJanet BranaganRuns the risk of alienating its audience by going a little too far over the top and, in its efforts to be different, delivers instead, more of the same. |
| Boston GlobeErin MeisterWhile the film at times feels like a clumsily acted play, a surprising turn by Delta Burke carries the cast out of the doldrums of an often-strained plot line. |
