    Another dull film by McConaughey, truely not much I can say about this one.

    Andie and Benjamin start to date each other with alternative agendas for their work. Funny rom com. Great cast. My fave scene is coming out of the Celine Dion concert.

    Gender stereotypes are soooooo funny. Likewise tired, predictable plotlines. Grrr.

David Edelstein, Slate

The picture is entertaining, and it will probably be a big hit, but it's an opportunity wasted. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The movie would have been so much better if it had jumped into its mean-spiritedness with gusto and passion, instead of just splashing around in it halfheartedly. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

If the movie provides no new insight into the contrasting behavior of men and women or the perils of postmodern urban dating, falling well shy of the not-too-high standard set by 'Sex and the City' on... full review

    This is the scariest movie I ever watched. I put this in the horror section of my personal colection because my now ex-girlfriend acted just like the lead girl of this movie in fact if I altered the story line as little as
    15-20 percent I could make a documentary of my 18 month relationship with my exgirlfriend.
