Critic Reviews

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    Stupid, coarse and abysmally unfunny.

  • Laura Sinagra, Village Voice

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    This movie paints itself into a corner from which it cannot emerge without becoming an utter disaster as far as I'm concerned.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    A chick flick for guys, with a pH balance in perfect equilibrium between the crass and the sweet.

    I laughed real loud when Drew beat the sh!t out of Rob. That was simply hilarious! This movie was nice. Although the idea is a bit weird but it's passable.

  • Luke B


    Unlike Click, this film managed to mix the traditional Adam Sandler shtick with a rather sweet and touching love story. Sandler and Barrymore certainly have the kind of chemistry required for their romance to blossom. This film takes a really wild idea of a man falling for a girl who… More
