If McCulloch can draw this much humanity out of his actors, and do it in comedies with a deceptively easygoing poignancy, he's definitely a director to watch. - 75
Boston Globe
A romantic comedy with an adult sensibility, a film that avoids characters-as-caricatures (with one exception), and deftly mixes cynicism and hope. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
This shambling romantic comedy...clings to a sensibility that's imperviously, uncompromisingly Canadian. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Odd yet thoughtful romantic comedy. - 60
Newsweek
Through the laughter, though, there is real empathy for the characters. It's a light-hearted movie. - 40
Village Voice
A series of moments that don't quite add up to a movie...one bland, maundering stroll. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Quirky, but ultimately disappointing, romantic comedy. - 30
Los Angeles Times
