REVIEWS
There are quite a few bad reviews for the film, but here are some with good things to say.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon
"Lane's sweetness, his naughty wiliness ... and his dapper charm all make his performance wonderful to watch."

E! Online
"Not really Great but fun nonetheless."

Big Drama, Little Trauma In Isn't She Great
"Midler and Lane are enthusiastic and funny as Susann and Mansfield without being cartoonish, as are the supporting cast of Cleese, Hyde Pierce and Stockard Channing."

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
"Nathan Lane ... is a spark plug."

Christy Lemire, Associated Press
"Midler and Lane bounce off each other beautifully ..."

The Flick Filosopher
"... the real saving graces here are Bette Midler and Nathan Lane ..."

David Elliott for MSNBC
"... Lane ... seems to be a compact merger of “Fiorello!” and “Guys and Dolls”

Film.com
"Nathan Lane obviously understands the bygone style of [Susann's] husband/agent, Irving Mansfield, with his lunches at Lindy's and his pink sport coats. "
