Critic Reviews
* "If anything, it's the perhaps intentionally cheapened, hyper-produced sound of the trio later in the film that makes one wish for the old versions of their songs." Los Angeles Times
- Michael Ordoña
* "The movie is devoid of laughs..." USA Today
- Claudia Puig
* "...a harmless and frequently humorous trifle..." Variety
- Joe Leydon
