- 1996, Amy Biancolli, "Hollywood Humour Runs The Gamut In 'First Wives'", Albany Times Union, 19 September 1996:
- Well, look no further. "The First Wives Club," which opens Friday, is the latest and arguably the slickest chick flick to reduce its adult male characters to inconsequential quivery-lipped milksops. It's not so much male-bashing as all-out male-demolition, a happy-faced Hollywood excuse to trot out one vanillafied stereotype after another. Men are stupid! Men are venal! Men are libidinous reptiles!
- 2007, Esther Iverem, We Gotta Have It: Twenty Years of Seeing Black at the Movies, 1986-2006, Thunder's Mouth Press (2007), →ISBN, page 243:
- Just when you're ready to dismiss the main character, Theodorous Melville, as simply another hopelessly vanillafied brother, debut writer and director Kwyn Bader ups the comedic ante.
- 2008, Darren Ewing, "Review: Nikka Costa funkifies sparse crowd in SLC", The Salt Lake City Tribune, 8 October 2008:
- Costa may just be the fresh blast of honest-to-goodness, not-playing-games, old-school-meets-new-school, funky, fuzzy-haired soul that this vanillafied, predigested, pop-tart-obsessed media culture has been looking for.
- 2010, Myrrdin Gwynedd, "Second shocking Mel Gibson rant tape released", The New Zealand Herald, 13 July 2010:
- Won't be much of a tell-all then. Expect some vanillafied pulp of the highest order.
