Rotten
A comedy in which lightweight attempts at relevance mostly fall flat.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

While Zus & Zo strains for style points, it's just an off-the-shelf romantic comedy, and not a very good one.
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic

The title translates, roughly, as 'This & That,' a confectionary shrug that pretty well sums up the blase inconsequentiality of it all.

It's been a long time since a film made me want to change the ending.

Fortunately, the performers ... fully embrace the ludicrous aspects of their roles, with frequently hilarious results.
