Top CriticLooking for plot holes? You can't miss them. But if you go in hoping for a good time, you'll find that, too.

Top CriticMr. Jamal's direction ranges from clumsy to competent. Fortunately, even as Mr. Jamal's characters hit notes reminiscent of a half-baked television pilot, they disclose eccentricities that his cast spins into comic gold.

Top CriticOverwritten and under-directed by Maurice Jamal, the movie contains several honest moments but remains too awash in clichés and stereotypes to take seriously.
12/07/07
Top CriticThe film's plea for tolerance is commendable but would have more weight if only it were executed with more panache.

Top CriticVisually dull, without an ounce of cinematic purpose, pic will work most effectively on the small screen.
