Can be cute, and even heartwarming at times. But all too often, it's nearly insufferable.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

It's just too bad the intended charm is applied with a shovel instead of a trowel. Romantic comedy is a delicate flower that can be smothered by too much fertilizer.
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle

Pleasant, mildly uplifting entertainment.

Rotten
Too contrived for its own good and it feels as artificial as a bouquet of plastic pansies.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
