  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    A pleasant enough entertainment at a time when movies either pleasant or entertaining are in short supply.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

  • Charles Taylor, Salon.com

    Slick, satisfying entertainment.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    The kind of movie that allows the non-cynical movie-goer to sit back and relax in the presence of actors who work well with each other and a script whose familiarity is an asset.

    I strangly enjoyed this movie, i enjoyed it more because Sam Neill was in it but it is a good and amusing movie. Its a sweet enough Romcom with quite a few laughs.
