Reviews for Shortcut to Happiness
Much of the fault can be distributed to Hewitt's performance which has neither the zing nor the menace to effectively sell us that she has any credible advantage over heavyweights like Baldwin and Hopkins.
Baldwin, like so many thesp-helmers, lacks an instinctive sense of how to place and move the camera.
