Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

Adorable or what?Read the full review

The New York Times | Stephen HoldenAdd Critic to Favorites

This absurdist satire of sex, sibling rivalry, Oedipal ties, homicidal fantasies and fast food in the American heartland at least has the right attitude. It just isn't funny enough in its particulars to make you break up laughing. Read the full review
