  • Holly’s savvy child-with-a-heart-of-gold trope and presence on every adventure are questioned despite praise for Rice; her restraint on Healy supplies the story’s heart. — Bill Simmons
  • Her desire to save men who nearly killed her is considered odd. — Bill Simmons
  • Basinger feels outside the film’s comic register, especially beside Tally’s better-fitting performance. — Bill Simmons
