| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe personable, good-looking cast helps things along somewhat but Daniel Taplitz's script falls short of success. |
| E! OnlineE! StaffWhile Foxx and Union carry the proceedings with humor and charm to burn, the lightweight script isn't quite clever enough to untangle their web without resorting to middlebrow obviousness. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellThis could be the year's smartest romantic comedy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNot a comic masterpiece, but it's entertaining and efficient, and provides a showcase for its stars. It's on the level of a good sitcom. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonWriter-director Daniel Taplitz seems to be trying to invoke classic screwball with this convoluted setup, but it plays like mediocre sitcom. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA sadly ordinary bit of fluff, a romantic comedy that aims to be wacky and charming and winds up being neither. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderYou wouldn't think a movie with this much plot could be this dull, but you'd be wrong. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThis isn't all gold--there are lame riffs on a booze-swilling dog and a flabby old man with a boner--but it's well above average. |

| Village VoiceJoe McGovernThe threadbare plot gets considerable padding from alternately psychotic, lecherous, and greedy Caucasians. |
