Critic Reviews

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
A quartet of interlocking stories of finding, losing and rediscovering love, it starts strong, sputters for a while, and ends cheerfully enough.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
Americans do not have a monopoly on the cutesy-poo romantic comedy. At her most insistently dimply, Meg Ryan never made anything as nauseating as the Italian Manual of Love.
Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net
The fact that this breezy comedy is consistently funny cannot hide its lack of emotional resonance.
