Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
2/4
The movie makes its point early and often: That its characters are hung up on food, and eat for unhealthy and obsessive reasons. It's true. We know it's true. We wait in vain for additional insights. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jan 4, 2023
It's unsettling, subversively funny, and without a doubt Jaglom's best. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 7, 2020
3.5/4.0
A vibrant, entertaining and heartfelt experience. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Aug 16, 2013

Goes on for too long and becomes overcooked, though parts of it are tasty in an idiosyncratic way. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Jun 21, 2006

Though largely shallow, Jaglom's high-concept serio-comedy is timely and has a few observant moments about women's food and beauty anxieties Go to Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Apr 28, 2005

Apr 10, 2011 the 40 and 50 y/o actresses should switch roles: how can the 40 look like 60 and be celebrating her 40th birthday? poor casting. after this movie, everyone's gonna think we women all have issues with food and are always discontent. I disagree and am of the opinion that discontentment is a spiritual issue and not something that food or any emotional crutch can hope to address. finally, it gets too boring 2/3 into the movie to hear all the whining going on in that mad house!! See more Apr 7, 2011 an all-too female-drama about eating disorders and other associated image-issues. too much. See more Read all reviews
