Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The movie is so busy being quirky that it's hard to relate to it.
– Jeff Strickler,

2 Oct 2003
rotten:
Largely unintelligible romantic comedy about a couple of annoying losers and their personality-free love interest.
– Connie Ogle,
Miami Herald,
9 Oct 2003
rotten:
Some strong performances make it go by fairly painlessly, but inconsistencies involving plot and character keep it from ever being more than marginally involving.
– Randy Cordova,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
