Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: Life is too short to sit through a mess of ham bones and succotash like Sordid Lives. full review

Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News

Del Shores' local stage hit seems at times too big for the screen. full review

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Shrill and punishingly unfunny.

David Hunter, Hollywood Reporter

A train wreck you can't help but watch. full review

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune

While the film at times feels like a clumsily acted play, a surprising turn by Delta Burke carries the cast out of the doldrums of an often-strained plot line. full review

Erin Meister, Boston Globe

The laughs come in all the wrong places when they come at all. full review

Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle

If the film's flaws are large, so are its laughs.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

A movie that, while robustly performed ... has the strange effect of not so much opening up a play for the screen as closing it in. full review
