Tomatometer
Rotten
A talky, plodding romantic comedy in which the viewer is just waiting for the obvious plot twist to happen. And when it does, it's too unconvincing to feel satisfying.
Malcolm Ritter, Associated Press
Rotten
Quickly becomes silly and tedious.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
A tone of lame amiability doesn't compensate for lack of invention.
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
Suffers from a slow-paced, contrived script.
