Chicago Reader
The mixture of sincerity and sitcom phoniness is bewildering at times, but on some level, I guess, the film works. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
You come away with a remarkable sense of the filmmakers and actors working together harmoniously as they delve into the heart of relationships between friends and lovers. - 70
Variety
Tries to mix the messy realities of mismatched relationships with the structural neatness of a musical-comedy view of the world, with mild, occasionally diverting results. - 63
Christian Science Monitor
It boasts appealing performances, and it takes a reasonably tasteful approach to its subject, aside from a string of four-letter words that sound strangely out of place in this romantic comedy. - 60
The New York Times
Easier to watch than it is to believe. - 60
Newsweek
In trying to appeal to a wide audience, quirky material has been forced to fit a formula that can't really contain it. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
So riddled with cultural stereotypes, woe-is-me neurotic mopiness, and glib therapeutic compassion that by the end all it leaves you with is a waxy buildup of falseness. - 40
The A.V. Club
The film is being marketed as a romantic comedy, but it's neither romantic nor funny.
