    Cast[edit]

    Reception[edit]

    Stephen HoldenofThe New York Times wrote that the "flaw at the heart" of the film was the "improbability of such cross sections of humanity ever cohering in real life."[1]

    Roger EbertofRogerEbert.com rated the film 0.5 stars out of 4 and wrote, "The characters and their problems are both so cliched that it makes you wonder if the filmmakers had ever seen a movie before; didn't they realize how stunningly unoriginal, how worn out and overused, this material was?"[2]

    Peter Rainer of the Los Angeles Times called the film "yet another Diner wannabe".[3]
