Chicago Sun-Times
A glorious romantic fantasy, aflame with passion and bittersweet longing. - 63
San Francisco Examiner
With a distractingly cute Quinn, a cartoonishly stern Giannini and woozily romantic Reeves and Sanchez-Gijon, this movie is overflowing with ditsy good will. But it just won't be everyone's cup of Chardonnay. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Half as interesting as a rerun of Falcon Crest and twice as long. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
With (Keanu's) stiff body language and wooden delivery, his every word falls like drops of flat Diet Coke rather than intoxicating wine. - 50
Rolling Stone
Take this walk for the appetizing scenery, which includes Reeves and Sanchez-Gijon. The rest deserves squashing. - 50
Variety
Aa glossy, fairy-tale romance that's longer on wishfulness than believability. - 40
Empire
Pretty as a picture, but emptyheaded as hell. - 40
The New York Times
