Has a likable smartness to it; like a good Woody Allen film with a gay twist. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
There's a drag on this film, and that's the character of the protagonist, Allegra. She's just not a nice person, which could have been OK, except it seems as though she's supposed to be. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
It may not be the real world of New York, or even of most relationships, but it's worth a visit. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Yearns to be a bisexual screwball comedy but turns out to be only a simplistic sitcom stretched to feature length. full review
