Movie Reviews

New Times - 7/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonMandel Holland's direction is uninspired, and his scripting unsurprising, but the performances by Phifer and Black are ultimately winning.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Kevin ThomasPerfectly pleasant if slightly pokey comedy.
New York Post - 5/10 by Lou LumenickHolland lets things peter out midway, but it's notably better acted -- and far less crass -- than some other recent efforts in the burgeoning genre of films about black urban professionals.
L.A. Weekly - 4/10 by Ernest HardyThe film needs strong characters and snappy dialogue to carry it through. It has neither.
