Rotten
A bleak, annoyingly quirky Gen-X recasting of the When Harry Met Sally notion that true love is based on friendship.

All coy grins and daffy mugging, Mr. Stiller plays the role as if aspiring to become the Elliott Gould of his generation. Compared with jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, that's a reasonable goal.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Fresh
If Lucy Fell is funnier more often than not, and when it's not being funny it's at least being strange. I'll take strange over what most major-distributor comedies are when they're not being funny.
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
There is an affectation that I find particularly annoying, and that is when people choose to perform at a level below their natural intelligence.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
It's airy, fluffy and ultimately uninteresting.
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
