Critic Reviews

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    Though I found Mr. Yakin's direction unexpectedly imaginative, and the script often incongruously subtle, I couldn't get into the spirit of all the whimsy, the reason being the surprising lack of charm in the two leads.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    Can two over-pampered but fundamentally lonely persons of the blonde female persuasion bond meaningfully with each other while shopping?

  • Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger

    Yakin shuns caricature. His affection for all his feckless characters, even Fanning's narcissistic mom (Heather Locklear), is evident.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    Combine two mannered performances with a script intent on achieving maximum cuteness, and you've got one wince-inducing sugar rush.

  • John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

    Gives chick flicks a bad name.

    A good chick flick with some heartwarming scenes! A must see!

  • Dead A


    <i>Act your age not your shoe size.</i> Dakota Fanning reminded me of Christina Ricci from <i>Addams Family</i>. Her acting in this movie was spectacular. Brittany Murphy (R.I.P) was good as well. This was pretty enjoyable.

  • Jameson W


    A decent, enjoyable film. I really love Brittany Murphy!

  • Michael S


    Pretty decent fluff. Quite suprising actually.

  • Spencer S


    Even if it's a little unoriginal, Dakota Fanning gives an amazing performance, that is as anal as it is charming.
