Chicago Reader
Despite a continuity problem or two, this is one of those rare contemporary romantic comedies that actually work. - 63
New York Post
As an actress, Lopez is a bit stiff, as she has been in all of her movies save "Out of Sight." It really doesn't matter much here, given the sparks between her and Fiennes and the fact that the role is pretty much form-fitted to her public persona. - 60
Washington Post
It's a warm, if pallid, romantic comedy that may not do much more to burnish Lopez's reputation, but will certainly not bruise it. - 60
Film Threat
This is by the books in every way, funny and undemanding ... and also rather sweet and heartwarming. - 50
The New York Times
Blandly charming. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
A pleasant experience, if not the dazzling entertainment Lopez fans were hoping for. - 50
Washington Post
This fairy-tale shtick, even when dressed up with a little class-war garnish, is hard to swallow. - 40
Salon
Everything about it, except the valiantly lifelike Lopez, feels stiff and robotic and mindlessly crowd-pleasing, as if it were a comedy made by a committee instead of a human being.
