Entertainment Weekly
The film satirizes, and celebrates, an idea pivotal to both Hollywood and love: that in a world of impostors, the pretender with the most conviction can become exactly what he pretends to be. - 80
Los Angeles Times
Smart, sweet and playful romantic comedy. - 75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Donovan makes us totally believe the character and his predicament, co-star Mary-Louise Parker is especially witty and winning as the film's screenwriter. - 70
Variety
Pic, which may be too cutesy for some tastes, is lacking in substance in some areas but it has a wonderfully nuanced, constantly surprising perf by Mary-Louise Parker, who elevates the intermittently charming insider spoof. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Neither Parker nor Donovan is a typical romantic lead, but they bring a fresh, quirky charm to the formula. Nor are their characters typical meet-cute types: David and Toni are imperfect people who are some how perfect for each other. - 60
L.A. Weekly
Does have its charms. - 60
Village Voice
The dialogue, by Walsh and Cynthia Kaplan, is sharp and nimble. - 50
New York Daily News
Stocked with an impressively high-quality collection of New York actors. Unfortunately, in asking them all to play such unlikable characters, Walsh flushes too much of that talent down the drain.
