Leave your thoughts about Woman on Top.
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickIt's a surprise to find out that Woman on Top isn't a student film made by a couple of horny frat boys. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandWhimsical special effects blandly serve a second-rate, cliched romantic plot, not a cinematic fairy tale. |
| USA TodayAndy SeilerAll coy and fey -- and painless to digest. |
| CitysearchDave KehrDeeply bogus stuff, from a filmmaker who knows better (Celestial Mechanics), and an actress who is too talented to let herself be exploited like this. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionSteve MurrayShort and sweet, it's suitable for a date night that includes both a movie and dinner. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Woman On Top" is a chick flick with so much colorfully spicy Brazilian food being passed around as a shared aphrodisiac, that audience couples will be running out the cinema for food and bed. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldAs a goofy little fantasy, however, this film has loads of charm. |
| Orlando WeeklyPhilip BoothTorres often strains to match the kookiness and kink that come so naturally to Almodóvar and his ilk. |
| Mr. ShowbizMichael AtkinsonHopefully, somebody soon -- maybe Billy Bob Thornton with the upcoming All the Pretty Horses -- will give this girl a real movie. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordA more mature screenplay that delved into relationships, magical or not, would have helped. |
