Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

As light as a feather, as fresh as spring, and as lubricious as a centerfold... There is something extroverted and refreshing in the way these women enjoy their beauty and their sexiness.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

Just as you're ready to give up on Chasing Papi, Paul Rodriguez shows up, and the movie goes from plotless to wildly overwritten in just one scene. Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Keith PhippsAdd Critic to Favorites

The fun wears thin once it becomes clear that the only trick the film has to offer is footage of the women fighting and bonding over their shared love of the handsome but uncharismatic Verástegui.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | C.W. NeviusAdd Critic to Favorites

What this really is is a great deal of screaming and running from room to room, wacky chase scenes, the old bag switcheroo, dim-bulb crooks and zany antics. Everyone is working hard, but as with Sofia Vergara's costumes, there isn't enough material.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

So resoundingly awful, there may be grounds to sue for mental suffering.Read the full review
