Critic Reviews

  • David Hunter, Hollywood Reporter

    Goes down smoothly thanks to the trio of lead actors, whose enthusiasm and chemistry help make up for the routine filmmaking.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Lacks exactly what its title promises, passion, and any real Portuguese flavor.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    Afraid to trust the strength of its simple story, it clutters it up with subplots, some of which seem to have been forgotten in the editing.

  • Megan Lehmann, New York Post

    Despite its porn-movie title, this predictable and uninspired romantic drama fizzles like a wet squib.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    A feel-good romantic comedy without a shred of credibility.
