[O]ne of the worst romantic comedies of this or probably any other year.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

It's no fun to side with Murphy's mean-spirited paranoiac, so we're soon rooting for the gynecologist to uncover a venereal disease, or for the chef to whip up some salmonella, or even for that Palm cradle to fall into the bathtub.

Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice
Rotten

It's not well scripted enough or well acted enough to do much of anything, save make anyone watching really hate Brittany Murphy for being so annoying and so incredibly unlikely as a cute twenty-something Diane Sawyer wannabe.

Sara Gebhardt, Washington Post
Rotten

If you think it's worth it to sit there for 97 minutes for three or possibly four laughs, then you are beyond help.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten

If it's hard to like the message and the characters in this movie, it's even harder to like the acting, though the casting is strong.

Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star
