Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Keith Sample's film aspires to the innocent charm of a newlywed comedy like Barefoot in the Park, but gets bogged down in witless sex jokes.
Dave Kehr, New York Daily News
Rotten
After a while, I could smell the jokes coming like Grandma's two-day-old stuffed cabbage.
Paul Tatara, CNN.com
Rotten
This may not be the worst romantic comedy of the year, but surely it's the flattest. The thing has no energy. It just lies there, waiting to be kicked.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
Kooky Joan Cusack can't provide sufficient comic relief in this incredibly naive attempt at schmaltz.
