| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittAll those snappy supporting performers take the focus off the movie's romantic-comedy trappings. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyLacking wit and subtlety, this high-concept comedy suffers from casting McConaughey, who has the cockiness but not the likability as the eternal bachelor, and lack of chemsistry between him and the gifted Garner; it's Doulglas who walks out with the film |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'ConnellMcConaughey is mildly coasting. He has danced these steps before. |

| Detroit NewsTom LongPlease, ladies, don't go see this movie. (Chances are most men would rather put out their eyes than go see a film with such a title.) |

| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThis crude reworking of Dickens was probably a bad idea to begin with, but it's so haplessly done that it didn't have a ghost of a chance. |
