Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
As synthetic as a rubber rose.

rotten:
Can be cute, and even heartwarming at times. But all too often, it's nearly insufferable.
– Roger Moore,

rotten:
It's just too bad the intended charm is applied with a shovel instead of a trowel. Romantic comedy is a delicate flower that can be smothered by too much fertilizer.

fresh:
Pleasant, mildly uplifting entertainment.

rotten:
Too contrived for its own good and it feels as artificial as a bouquet of plastic pansies.
