Critics Consensus: Despite Penelope Cruz's beauty and charm, the movie is too tepid to be a romance and too silly to be believable. And the movie is too eager to please with an ending that seems more like a cop out.

David Nusair

...an exceedingly lighthearted romantic comedy that never quite manages to achieve liftoff...

Shut off the analytic sector of your brain, and the rest of you can, have a thoroughly pleasant night out at the movie theater.

Penelope Cruz and little else in this so-so comedy

"Woman On Top" is a chick flick with so much colorfully spicy Brazilian food being passed around as a shared aphrodisiac, that audience couples will be running out the cinema for food and bed.

Common Sense Says

Penelope Cruz and little else in this so-so comedy

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has lots of transvestitism, which is never explained. A few fiery expletives spoken jokingly, not in anger. A self-involved husband has at least one affair, then pursues his wife aggressively after she leaves him. Moderate but consistent salty dialogue and situations, including penile length references and an undulating, semi-clad cross-dresser; a glimpse of breasts. Some mild bar fighting in defense of a woman's honor.
