      Chicago Sun-Times

      One of the pleasures of Ronald Bass' screenplay is the way it subverts the usual comic formulas that would fuel a plot like this.

      ReelViews

      The film makers understand that it's possible for a romantic comedy to appeal not only to the heart, but to the mind as well.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      The real casting disaster is Mulroney. His blandness in the role makes it impossible to believe two beautiful women would fight over him.

      Los Angeles Times

      Feels repetitive at times, but its star power and willingness to undercut convention come through at the end.

      USA Today

      Mulroney is a drip with not a milliliter of chemistry with either woman. Roberts doesn't really seem to care about him so much as the fact that life is passing her by. Though, that may be the point.

      Newsweek

      A romantic comedy for an era of diminished expectations.

      The New York Times

      Obtuse, prettily decorative comedy. Characters burst gaily into song when, as often happens, they don't have anything better to do.

      Time

      When our sympathies shift to [Cameron Diaz's Kimmy], the movie sours. It is no help either that Ronald Bass neglected to write (or Mulroney was unable to find) a character in Michael. Why all this fuss over this lox, we keep wondering.
