Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
While McKay's debut feature is witty, weepy and easy on the eyes, it never lets the obligation to entertain interfere with the messy flow of human responses.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Fresh
There are as many misses as hits, but ultimately, it finds humor in the foibles of human behavior, and it's a welcome return to the roots of a genre that should depend on surprises.
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Rotten
Anyone who suffers through this film deserves, at the very least, a big box of consolation candy.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Feels like the first reel of Bridget Jones's Diary spliced onto Othello.
