...movie regrettably has several darker, nastier moments that cannot pass unmentioned. At one point two thugs try to kill an inconvenient tenant, a babushka-clad elderly woman, by pushing her down the stairs: we see her crash painfully down to the sound of goofy music. A few roaches rely upon annoying, boring ethnic stereotype voices; these are supposedly swept up in the broad strokes of roach world...
...zeal of a mounted hussar about to drive his lance through a peasant yeoman, people are apt to do strange things. Things one wouldn't expect them to do. Things one might call downright ... unnatural. Like the three frat brothers who wrench their gaze away from the bikini-clad strumpets draped over the first-deck seats to train their binoculars on the vault pit.

Critics, however, chided her for self-indulgent behavior and for wearing earrings and mascara in the O.R. SEEN & HEARD...
Lovett's music blared thorugh the speakers during the next set of songs, a toe-tapping and high-stepping piece called "Nine Lives." Much well-deserved applause was given to costume director Nong Tumsutipong, who clad the men deliciously in tight jeans and sweat-stained silk shirts, and the women in colorful and daring leotards pieced together in geometric shapes. The latter fashion statement looked somewhat odd and misplaced next to the hip-swaggering cowboys, but it was dazzling nonetheless...
