It says a lot for Joel Schumacher's Flawless that you can see the picture's high-concept heart a mile away and still be won over by it.

So awful it just might put an end to Hollywood's hypocritical infatuation with men in drag as symbols of its own supposedly liberated sexual attitudes.

Outdated and schematic, this two-character melodrama belongs to the 1970s, when transsexuals were "novel" dramatic persona; even the gifted Philip Seymour Hoffman is defeated by the writing and direction.

You need a pair of huge, hairy ones to make a picture this bad and call it "Flawless."

Any humanity in the script is diluted to the point of nonexistence by Schumacher's refusal to allow any of his characters to develop beyond the stereotype stage.

For what it's worth, this could be Schumacher's best film.

...a well-balance work that captures the often jaw dropping performances by the dancers.

Steve Murray Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Its weary cliches and flat comic bits are apparently supposed to be fresh and insightful.

What's worse than a film directed by Joel Schumacher? How about a film written and directed by Joel Schumacher?

De Niro and Hoffman deliver the goods, but they are lost within a cockamamie, violent subplot that pulls down everything.

a piece of junk jewelry even Robert DeNiro and Philip Seymour Hoffman can't make sparkle. Heaven knows they try, though.

Annlee Ellingson Boxoffice Magazine

Hoffman, who until now has played supporting roles in films such as "Boogie Nights" and "Happiness," proves a powerful peer for his macho co-star, even in stiletto heels.

Joel Schumacher has served up a big, steamy Butterball with all the trimmings.

The involvement of several real-life drag queens contributes to both the exhuberence, authenticity, and sheer panache to mark something of a return to form for the idiosyncratic director.
