| Professional Reviews | (03/09/1994, p.C15, Caryn James): "...Gleeful irreverence, dark wit and cynicism....[Leary] is unexpectedly terrific....A grown-up film...", (03/09/1994, p.F1, Kenneth Turan): "...Enthusiastically mean-spirited....It has as much fun being malicious as Snow White did being squeaky clean...", (03/11/1994, p.37, Roger Ebert): "...[Leary] creates an entertaining character.
