Critic Reviews

  • Malcolm Ritter, Associated Press

    A talky, plodding romantic comedy in which the viewer is just waiting for the obvious plot twist to happen. And when it does, it's too unconvincing to feel satisfying.

    A tone of lame amiability doesn't compensate for lack of invention.

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    Suffers from a slow-paced, contrived script.

  • Jan Stuart, Newsday

    It conceals beneath its amiable ethnic facade a diminished version of every generic boy-meets-girl trifle to come out of Hollywood.
