| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeSuperficially -- and this is a story very much concerned with the superficial -- this is a light, breezy affair with sexually assertive characters who know what they want and have a great time together. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe rom-com blight continues with this white-bread-in-every-way contemplation of modern relationships. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshRosenmeyer and Shaw have an easy charm and chemistry together, but the been-there, done-that material doesn't match their talents. |
| Village VoiceSherilyn ConnellyThe film's tone is all over the map, with weird bursts of casual racism toward its ethnic supporting cast and unnecessarily explicit sex scenes that approach a The Room level of ickiness. |
| User ReviewSzym KIt's a surprising fresh and well played movie in a genre full of clichés and bad examples. Its light and amusing but manages to build up a coherent story and charm the viewer in the process. |
| User ReviewAriful IThe film is not completely bad, though. Even if I would not recommend it, it has its good parts: after the least inspired 'before the mirror' scene I've seen in the last 20 years (just few minutes after the beginning of the flick), Grant Rosenmeyer redeems himself with a convincing performance, and so does the whole cast. Ryan Sage's work (editing and direction) seems OK and the same ingredients in a less confused recipe would have produced a different result. |
