Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    This Manhattan-based romantic comedy might be fun if it didn't hit you over the head with a sledgehammer every few minutes.

    A graceless and gratingly unfunny comedy that brings out the worst in just about everybody involved.

  • Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle

    Why did they bother?

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    An incoherent romantic comedy whose sexy title character (played by Ms. Smith) is an unbearable, unfunny pain in the neck.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    The constant reliance upon unfunny, moronic humor sinks the project.
