Better Housekeeping Reviews
Journal News (Westchester, NY)
Marshall Fine
With its cinema verite feel, Better Housekeeping manages to elicit the occasional surprised laugh.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie is ... very funny as you peek at it through the fingers in front of your eyes.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Plays like one long, meandering sketch inspired by the works of John Waters and Todd Solondz, rather than a fully developed story.
Film Threat
Rich Cline
Novak manages to capture a cruelly hilarious vein of black comedy in the situation with his cast of non-actors and a gritty, no-budget approach.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
As broad and cartoonish as the screenplay is, there is an accuracy of observation in the work of the director, Frank Novak, that keeps the film grounded in an undeniable social realism.
Citysearch
Justin Hartung
As pure over-the-top trash, any John Waters movie has it beat by a country mile.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
This loud and thoroughly obnoxious comedy about a pair of squabbling working-class spouses is a deeply unpleasant experience.
Film Threat
Merle Bertrand
In spite of Good Housekeeping's unsavory characters and WWF mentality, this white trash War of the Roses is a surprisingly engaging film.
Boxoffice Magazine
Jon Alon Walz
The actors improvise and scream their way around this movie directionless, lacking any of the rollicking dark humor so necessary to make this kind of idea work on screen.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Novak contemplates a heartland so overwhelmed by its lack of purpose that it seeks excitement in manufactured high drama.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
'The War of the Roses,' trailer-trash style. Entertaining but like shooting fish in a barrel.
Village Voice
Ed Park
Too stupid to be satire, too obviously hateful to be classified otherwise, Frank Novak's irritating slice of lumpen life is as reliably soul-killing as its title is nearly meaningless.
Long Island Press
Prairie Miller
Idiotic but at times close to cuddly redneck rogues and foul mouthed bimbos populate this white trash purgatory somewhere between cartoon noir and soap farce.
Orlando Weekly
The script lacks the sophistication that would motivate anyone but a Springer fan to keep watching in hopes that the battling couple would soon annihilate each other.
