Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A romantic shaggy dog story, a movie that leads us down the garden path of romance, only to abandon us by the compost heap of uplifting endings. And it's not even clever enough to give us the right happy ending.

fresh:
A most pleasant and diverting venture.

rotten:
The cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings.
– Peter Travers,

fresh:
An extremely enjoyable neo-screwball comedy about attractive opposites on the road.

DreamWorks' first reprehensible fiasco.
