Leave your thoughts about Love Don't Co$t a Thing.
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesWith jaw-dropping beauty, Christina Milian electrifies the screen. |
| Dallas Morning NewsMatt WeitzIn true Hollywood fashion, this remake conjures up only about 80 percent of the appeal of its source, leaving the viewer with the question: Was this film really necessary? |
| CitysearchErich ScholzThis breezy remake of the 1987 film Can't Buy Me Love is so lightweight it threatens to float off the screen, but likable performances from leads Cannon and Milian go far in helping anchor some of writer/director Troy Beyer's flimsy script. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe production is a haphazard rendering of the original Michael Swerdlick script that's incapable of sticking to any one tone or character motivation long enough to give the viewer any reason to care about the outcome. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Love Don't Cost A Thing" is loosely based on the 1987 teen comedy "Can't Buy Me Love," and fails to improve on that tepid movie by using a milieu of black high school students. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerIt's unclear why a remake of 1987's Can't Buy Me Love was necessary. |
| Denver PostMichael BoothThis teen ugly-duckling comedy can't rise above the level of your average TV sitcom. |
| Boxoffice MagazineTim CogshellIt's still a simplistic teen morality play dressed in Sean John and spoken in hip-hop lingo. |
| BET.comJames HillCannon doesn't play the new Alvin as just cool, but as a bad caricature of cool - like a White guy playing a Black guy or what a Black adult THINKS Black kids look like today |
| Movie MomNell MinowMissed opportunity full of dubious messages. |
