Leave your thoughts about The Favor.
| Washington PostJoe BrownThe Favor is a frisky, frank and funny female-buddy film - as if "Thelma and Louise" had stayed in the suburbs, making girl-talk about sex and satisfaction, married vs. single. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe Favor remains funny and credible in ways that prove feminist comedy is not an oxymoron. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWriters Sara Pariott & Josann McGibbon and director Donald Petrie know how life is lived - tending to details - and have packed the film with them, such that it almost works as a slice of suburban life. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe movie is still a little rough around the edges, featuring its share of scenes that, for one reason or another, don't work, but the overall effect is one of pleasant entertainment. |
| Portland OregonianKristi TurnquistUltimately, aside from the valiant efforts of pros like Elizabeth McGovern and the effortless Bill Pullman, The Favor is virtually indistinguishable from recent direct-to-video exploitation comedies |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe screenplay, by Sara Parriott and Josann McGibbon, has a good feel for female best-friend relationships, and the dialogue has life and edge to it. |
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensI remember seeing this when first released, and I remember not liking it, but I no longer remember the film at all. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe direction and technical elements are obvious, bright and vapid, while the performers struggle against staggering odds to provide nuance. |
| User ReviewTravis Jwasn't bored watching so that was all i needed really was for it to be entertaining and it was to me |
