      Variety

      Director Frank Coraci and scripter Tim Herlihy work in concert to maintain a quality of farce rooted in human comedy.

      Chicago Reader

      Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore make an appealing couple in this silly but very likable 1998 romantic comedy set in 1985.

      Entertainment Weekly

      As a romantic comedy, the picture is pleasant, predictable, and utterly weightless.

      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.

      Salon

      Frank Coraci's '80s-nostalgia comedy is predictable and unevenly paced, and it lunges too often for the easy joke.

      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.

      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.

      Austin Chronicle

      It is a harmless and occasionally hilarious pop comedy good for a few bargain yuks.
