A generic suspenser that doesn't taste bad at first bite but becomes increasingly hard to swallow.

Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten

This insufferable romance-adventure includes vague comedy as well as unintentional humor, and its target audience seems to be preadolescents who won't notice the calculated enthusiasm with which it sidesteps sexuality.

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
Rotten

Eminently forgettable.

Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten

Love redeems this profiteer; it also renders him conventional.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

Reinvention in the hands of Hollywood is seldom cause for celebration.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
