Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

It's Lopez who's the proper focus of this dream. So intent has she been on becoming a superstar in the past few years that many people have forgotten that, given decent material, she can act.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

There won't be a person in the audience who can't guess exactly how it will turn out. Yet it goes through its paces with such skill and charm that, yes, I enjoyed it.Read the full review

Variety | Robert KoehlerAdd Critic to Favorites

Gets into trouble when it reaches for laughs.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

No maid, and no fancy lady either, would swoon for a fellow as damp as the hero so grudgingly coughed up by Fiennes. In the words of Cinderellas everywhere, no effin' way.Read the full review
