Critic Reviews

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    DreamWorks' first reprehensible fiasco.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    An extremely enjoyable neo-screwball comedy about attractive opposites on the road.

  • , Time Out

    A bumbling and typically charmless latter-day studio screwball comedy.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    The cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings.

  • Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

    A most pleasant and diverting venture.

    I love Sandra Bullock in this film. I Didn?t like the ending much though!

  • Tim S


    As far as "chick flicks" go, this one had a better resolution that most. Actually an unhappy/happy ending, which was very refreshing. However, the journey to get there was LONG. This film is in serious need of an editing job because there was so much in there that was not… More
