Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... the characters aren't all that fascinating but it moves along quickly and the musical numbers keep it hopping. Read more

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Gloriously frothy fun. Read more

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Though there's nothing startlingly new here, there's a freshness and vigor to the acting, and the crisscrossing love affairs hold your interest. Read more

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: If you're looking for an amusing endorsement for cheating your socks off, you've come to the right place. Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Consistently sleek but works best if no more is expected of it than a mild diversion. Read more

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The lemon-drop-colored palette and soap-opera-colored conversation about sex owes a lot -- too much -- to Pedro Almodovar's influential, and far more original, concoctions of style and pathos. Read more

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: It's clever, raunchy and often funny. Read more

Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Because we're never made to feel that either couple is really that blissful in the first place, we can't get too worked up about all the lies and double-crosses and twists of fate they endure. Read more

Stephen Holden, New York Times: A satire of contemporary sexual warfare that leaves you smiling but also stung. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Everyone in The Other Side of the Bed, alas, has the depth of a character in a TV commercial. Read more

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Director Emilio Martinez-Lazaro fails to provide a consistent tone for his movie, which totters between earnest realism and camp. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Martinez-Lazaro's blend of erotic farce and Europop musical is so blandly slick and skin-cream deep, it barely leaves an impression, never mind anything to embrace. Read more

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A movie in which insufferable yuppies boogie away inside the bubble of their own emotional immaturity. Truly, this is the unhinged joy of the deeply oblivious. Read more

Time Out: Read more

Jonathan Holland, Variety: Read more

Laura Sinagra, Village Voice: All the mix-ups contrived to spice up its witless central foursome's fornication rondelet depend exclusively on exhumed notions of homosexuality and gender-rolling. Read more
