Critic Reviews

• Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

  It's hard to dislike a romantic comedy that's infatuated with the concept of love.

• Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

  A slight, unpleasant romantic comedy.

• Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

  A fundamental lack of substance.

• Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz

  Captures the embarrassment of foreplay, but it could use a few lessons in the art of seduction.

• Loren King, Chicago Tribune

  Kwyn Bader's debut feature is run-of-the-mill sitcom-y in its pedestrian writing and uninspired direction.

• Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

  Somehow manages to squander both an appealing cast and an inviting Manhattan setting.

• Merle Bertrand, Film Threat

  A lighthearted and frothy romantic comedy; a fun and amusing diversion, but little more.

• Dave White, IFilm

  A movie that likes movies.

• Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews

  The sort of film that should make people appreciate The Ladies Man more. It was certainly a lot more fun.

• , E! Online

  Leaves the audience...with a somewhat empty feeling when all is said and done.

• J. Robert Parks, Phantom Tollbooth

  Director and writer Kwyn Bader, making his big-screen debut, crafts an appealing story despite falling into the pitfalls often associated with a first-time director.

• Greg Dean Schmitz, Greg's Previews at Yahoo! Movies

  Sometimes entertaining, but is as a package a bit innocuous and lightweight.

• Wesley Morris, San Francisco Examiner

  Bader's film is 87 minutes of over-caffeinated Midnite Love masquerading as lit-major trash.

• Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWire

  Harper certainly garners audience sympathy because he really is a sensitive guy, but he's unconvincing as a romeo who 'loves all the things about women their men don't love.' What is this, a Luther Vandross song?
