The hilarious Bette Midler stars in this outrageous comedy of the life of Jacqueline Susann, an ambitious woman of dubious talent who writes Valley of the Dolls, the sexy, best-selling novel that takes the world by storm. Jacqueline's irrepressible sense of humor, indomitable spirit and adoring husband Irving Mansfield (Nathan Lane) eventually rocket her from struggling starlet to international celebrity.

Common Sense Media

Nell Minow

Midler's character is empty, boring, selfish.

Variety

Emanuel Levy

The most notable aspect of this trashy (but unenjoyable) biopic of Jacquleine Susann, Valley of the Doll's best-selling author, is its running time (93 minutes); Bette Midler and Nathan Lane give two of their worst and broadest performances.

Every joke and every scene collapses and blows away before it's finished.

James Sanford

gives its heroine all the rough edges of a throw pillow... Susann couldn't write sentiment convincingly and neither can Rudnick.
