Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Nov 13, 2004
1.5/4
The movie's so genial, disorganized and episodic that we never really care about the characters, and yet whenever someone starts to sing the performance is interrupted for more meaningless plot development. Go to Full Review
Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Aug 17, 2013
85/100
