- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Not even Rupert Everett is able to breathe life into soapy Thing"
-
"If only someone had taken away that disastrous third act we'd have one of the better mainstream films dealing with the impossible societal demands put upon gay parenting yet made"
-
"(Madonna is) clearly full of good intentions; too bad she's lacking discernible emotions"
-
"A garage sale of gay issues, harnessed to a plot as exhausted as a junkman's horse."
-
"If the movie were funny, the implicit sermonizing would be more tolerable"
-
"A misguided romantic serio-comedy aimed at women and gay men that ends up caricaturing both"
