- The internal CBS culture looks worse with later knowledge, including a possible rereading of chauvinism toward the corporate lawyer. — Bill Simmons
- The slow-motion street exit feels dated and tacky within an otherwise carefully made film. — Chris Ryan
- The score is criticized as a strained attempt at singularity, with Miami Vice and synth soundtracks as comparisons. — Sean Fennessey
- Wings Hauser is hard to separate from the 90210 character; Bruce McGill’s Animal House association provides a counterexample. — Chris Ryan
- McGill’s many 1990s roles support his credibility, while five preceding Hauser titles underline the casting objection.
