criticism

VideoWoche: "Adam Rifkin, the screenwriter of" Mäusejagd "and" Small Soldiers ", presents a modern, good-natured and vicious round dance. The comedy is carried by actors like Jonathan Silverman or the charming Christine Taylor (" A wedding to fall in love ") , but still all too often seems like a sitcom that has been sharpened on all sorts of edges and spiced up with a few slippery gags and scenes; most of the time, sex is just debated. Even if it's only about one thing, Adam Rifkin is not new to Woody Everyone and offers hardly any new knowledge in "The naked truth about men and women". Harmless comedy for all those interested in entertainment. "
