Variety
Director Frank Coraci and scripter Tim Herlihy work in concert to maintain a quality of farce rooted in human comedy. - 70
Chicago Reader
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore make an appealing couple in this silly but very likable 1998 romantic comedy set in 1985. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
As a romantic comedy, the picture is pleasant, predictable, and utterly weightless. - 60
L.A. Weekly
Sandler smirks a good deal less than he did in his last two movies, and with a couple of acting lessons, he might develop into a screen presence. - 60
Salon
Frank Coraci's '80s-nostalgia comedy is predictable and unevenly paced, and it lunges too often for the easy joke. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Yes, it's sappy. It's also silly, utterly unironic, a sketch stretched out to feature length, and, if you're in the right mood, pretty darned cute. - 50
ReelViews
This movie desperately wants to be liked. The problem is, there's not much here to like -- at least nothing that's new or interesting. - 50
Austin Chronicle
It is a harmless and occasionally hilarious pop comedy good for a few bargain yuks.
