Rotten
A mundane sitcom with feature pretensions, the kind where the comic 'situation' is simply a coat-rack for hanging a rag-tag assortment of inflated sight gags and telegraphed punch lines.

Spade serves as both star and co-writer of this lame, crass romantic comedy. Most of the jokes he's written fall flat, and his delivery isn't much better.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten
Nothing but a cynical, astonishingly inept attempt to copy Mary's formula.
Eric Harrison, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It makes Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls seem like Shakespeare in Love.
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News

Spade's wise-ass persona grows tiresome fast.
