Reviews
- The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "lightweight" and that "some gags" were "successful". The Moscow locations were praised.
- Stephen Holden ( The New York Times , Nov. 21, 2003) wrote that the comedy was "strenuous" and "incoherent". It starts “bad”, then it gets “worse”.
- Nat Johnson ( The Village Voice , November 19-25, 2003) wrote that the character of Anthony Santini was just as unsuccessful as the actor and director Robert Capelli Jr. The picture of life in Moscow is "grossly simplistic".
- The Hollywood Reporter (December 1, 2003) wrote that the film was clichéd and unsuccessful. He seems "amateurish".
