5 stars (Exceptional) Very original and extremely witty. Outstanding acting by McCarthy & Grant create recognizable but unforgettable characters. For me, one of the "films of the year" because of the near-perfect integration of great acting & script-writing. ~Sandy

3 stars (Good Enough) A couple of likeable rogues are entertaining for the most part. The props and wardrobe (especially Melissa's dowdy attire) were well done. ~Tubbs
