Reception

Steven Oxman from Variety magazine wrote: "Despite attractive trappings and some distinctly delightful cameos, Fox’s “How to Marry a Billionaire” ultimately comes off as a wooden effort Fox's take on the original 1953 pic replaces the three women out to marry into money with three men out to accomplish the same — and adds extra zeroes to the titular target. But while the argument presented in the pic — what's good for the goose should be good for the gander (if women can marry for money, why not men?) — makes perfect sense, this story remains an idea that never quite works, resulting in a joyless, if intermittently amusing, made-for."[1]
