It's neither clever nor that funny, the starry cast is underused, and the potential for a much wittier script never fulfilled.
Derek Adams, Time Out

Jane Goodale has everything going for her. She's a producer on a popular daytime talk show, and is in a hot romance with the show's dashing executive producer Ray.

A little lifeless.
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
Rotten
Ashley Judd tries to make Jane interesting, but seems to be longing for some decent situations and dialogue -- and no bull.
Doug Knoop, Seattle Times
Rotten
A romantic comedy with insights into sex and relationships that are old and obvious.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Refreshingly funny.
