Slate | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

This particular wheel hasn't been reinvented, but at least it gets a nice fresh coat of bubblegum-pink paint and a star to pilot it with aplomb.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter HartlaubAdd Critic to Favorites

Screenwriters Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith may not have any original ideas, but they write some good lines and have a great actress to deliver them.Read the full review
