Critic Reviews

• Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  Sara Rue delivers a charming and funny turn in this otherwise hopelessly formulaic rom-com.

• Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times

  Inoffensive to everyone besides the homeless living on L.A.'s skid row, whom Dorfman shies away from like they're soul-sucking dybbuks

• Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post

  The plotting is like uninspired Mad Libs and the premise so slight it's practically transparent. Nor is there much going on visually, beyond Jay's to-die-for loft.

• Andy Webster, New York Times

  The sentiments are heartfelt, but the execution is common.

• Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

  The story is simple and predictable, harmlessly pleasant (except when it tries to be a little edgy; then it's just silly).

• Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

  Brad Leong's "quirky" romantic comedy retreads ground that is already so well worn, everyone just slides right through.

• Gabe Toro, The Playlist

  The latest in a long line of films to pretend that when a plucky young woman isn't engaged or married, it must be a personal and professional Hiroshima.

• Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

  A romantic comedy about the changes that transform a young woman with low self-esteem.

• Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

  Breezy with a charming performance by Sara Rue, but too sitcomish and shallow to rise above mediocrity.

• David Noh, Film Journal International

  Forced and unfunny portrait of a Young Woman as a Loser.

• Brent Simon, Shockya.com

  Sara Rue is charming as the title character in this generous, slightly fizzy character study of a woman on the verge. The story, however, lets her down.

• Diego Costa, Slant Magazine

  The film's moral lesson is too contradictory to be taken seriously.
