Critic Reviews

  • S. Jhoanna Robledo, Common Sense Media

    Sweet, teen-friendly rom-com borders on the cliched.

  • Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly

    There's little fun in being asked to identify with yet another female character who spends her running time being shamed like a dog who soiled the rug.

  • David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com

    Sub-lousy hackneyed crapola all the way, a complete disaster, one of the year's worst movies.

  • Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com

    The film is hinged on unapologetic formula, looking to enchant the viewer through the act of repetition, but the writing isn't smart enough to wipe the dust off the plot.

    A badly produced, horribly clichéd, sadly dreary romantic comedy starring Uma Thurman in another role that feels oh so awkward on the supernova, and hunks Colin Firth and Jeffery Dean Morgan. The bulk of romantic comedies aren't anything to write home about, but sometimes they… More

  • Jens S


    This romantic comedy is based on a rather fresh, even if unrealistic idea: taking revenge on the radio show host who ruined your marriage by making her your wife through hacking the according papers. That makes for plenty of confusion and wonderfully embarrassing encounters, or could,… More
