Critic Reviews

  • Jason McKiernan, Filmcritic.com

    Keaton is fabulous in roles like this, where she plays the nervous, infectiously-spastic independent woman who has needs, particularly when they are written with equal parts gushy sweetness and savage wit by Nancy Meyers

  • Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com

    With the ever-charming Keaton in the lead, the flick turns out to be as harmlessly entertaining as it is outlandishly unrealistic.

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    Delightfully funny and honest

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    So-so comedy with Keaton still straining to keep up with her post-Woody Allen career.

  • Jake Euker, F5 (Wichita, KS)

    A wonderful performance from Diane Keaton pulls the movie through.

    Yet another one of those childhood films. Cute, but predictable.

  • Arash X


    The movie is just as awful as the poster
