Critic Reviews

  • Mike Clark, USA Today

    Take away the ethnic/pregnancy angles, and we've seen this premise countless times -- all the way back to the spate of post-World War II romances about returning veterans and the mates they married in a blink.

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    A fun no-brainer that successfully casts a sweet romantic spell.

  • Fred Topel, About.com

    No laughs in this one at all. Who decided to write a movie about a club designer? Boring concept, no chemistry.

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    Fools rush in to watch this stupid romantic comedy.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Shows how love leads away from reason into the mysteries of the heart.

    Isabel Fuentes: No. No quiero oir nada. No quiero que me digas una palabra. Estoy harta de todas tus mentiras. Eso son todo lo que me has dicho. Cobarde. Alex Whitman: What does that mean? Isabel Fuentes: It means that you are a liar and a coward. That's what it means. Alex… More
