Critic Reviews

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    [Aniston] at her best can recall young Barbra Streisand in her What's Up, Doc? days.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    Aniston doesn't need dialogue to catch Kate's quicksilver moods. It's the sitcom lines, at the service of a contrived plot, that choke her.

  • Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

    Insubstantial and oversweet, it still refreshes as a midsummer brain cooler.

  • Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

    Aniston comes across like an imitation of a movie star instead of the real thing. She gets less attractive as the film goes on.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    It's a shame the plot is so contrived, because parts of this movie are really pretty good.

    An average Aniston Rom-Com. Not her best or her worst. It's ok but I have watched a few of her more recent films lately that I thought were better or funnier at least.
