Rotten
A romantic triangle dating movie as confected, and nearly as wholesome, as a '50s Universal bedroom farce, but lacking the confidence and zest.

The ending gets a little too cute, and isn't true to Anna's independent nature. Oh well, to forgive is divine.
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle
Fresh
An astute directorial debut for actor Edward Norton.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It's as soft and squishy as anything by Nora Ephron or pre-caustic Woody Allen.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
The film does tend to move as if it's permanently stuck in second gear.
