Top CriticFox and Chestnut, with their fine looks and fine wardrobes, are all dressed up for a party that most guests bailed on in the last days of the old millennium.

Top CriticFew recent movies have conceived their central female character more contemptuously -- a fanatic for a lifestyle that appears to have come from the bestselling The Rules and someone who is obviously set up for a satiric fall.
09/10/01
Top CriticA feature-length movie demands a story, and this one barely has the substance of an anecdote.

Top CriticDoesn't anyone get sick of this same old routine?
09/07/01
Top CriticThe movie doesn't just hate women; it despises them.
09/07/01
Top Critic[Brown's] writing is often insightful, and he manages to split the viewpoint between men and women.
09/07/01
Top CriticAt least Two Can Play That Game has some wriggle in it.
09/07/01
Top CriticNo one in this buppie fantasia, including its creative team, seems to have any interest in leaving the high school of the mind.

Top CriticIt does manage to be more fun than most romantic comedies these days.
09/07/01
Top CriticWe've seen this all before, and better.

Top CriticBrown ... doesn't create satirical sex comedies so much as etiquette guides out of Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
09/07/01
Top CriticThe movie does have charm and moments of humor.
09/07/01
Top CriticOffers for most of its length a wickedly funny romp that takes witty aim at traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
09/07/01
Top CriticThe actors all have great charisma and play their parts with verve. The film goes down painlessly, and even the biggest curmudgeon is guaranteed to get at least a couple of laughs out of it.
09/06/01
Top CriticAn endearing romantic comedy that pokes fun at the ridiculous things people do for love.
09/06/01
Top CriticBoth sexes are portrayed as superficial and silly.
09/06/01
Top CriticOverly slick and packaged, complete with intrusive product placement for beer, soda and potato chips.
