Reviews

Jay Weissberg wrote in the journal Variety of 14 May 2007, the game's protagonist remains " elated " even though the act is flawed. The film was different from What's Up, Doc? so that the character played by Lucy Liu character consciously care for chaos. Liu games with pleasure and use her charm to preserve the character shown before chagrin. Your Murphys and chemistry carry the film.
