      Variety

      Unlike "Four Weddings," which ultimately was moralistic and conservative in its message --—About Adam is a frolic free of any judgments, and marked by Stembridge's sparkling wit.

      Los Angeles Times

      A sly romantic comedy made with wit and style.
    • 75

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      Delightfully reflect the abandonment of the old image and way of life.

      Village Voice

      Hudson is ebullient, never cutesy, and her accent stays in tune.

      Boston Globe

      In a moralistic time, About Adam is something of an anomaly, as it airily sticks to its pro-naughtiness agenda.

      New York Post

      Thanks to Hudson and the other women, it's a moderately beguiling date movie.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Sweet, likable and consistently engaging, if so insubstantial that it's always on the verge of blowing away.

      New York Daily News

      With few laughs and no real poignancy, the movie's success rests squarely on Adam's oft-naked shoulders.
