Movie Reviews

• the humour tends to come in fits and starts

  by David Mercier [FilmJudge ]

• the first comedy since ``The 40-Year-Old Virgin" that's been made with an improvisatory spirit and a degree of respect for an audience

• scores laughs right down to its gloriously gaga climactic smooch

  Review rate : B by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• lacks the guts of genuine satire

  by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune ]

• it's charming and often funny, but it also drags badly and never makes much of its characters

  by Rich Cline [Shadows on the Wall ]

• an easy movie to enjoy

  by Joe Williams [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]

• A laugh-out-loud funny send-up of NASCAR

  by Tim Knight [Reel ]
