Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The vapid story -- and its intended humor -- meanders and loses its way in predictable sit-com style.
For all its faults, there is a kind of genius in the way that it takes the rom-com raison d'etre - the desire to see two lovable people fall in love with each other - and diverts it for its own purposes.
You can't shake the feeling that in a just world, all these women - even Kate Upton - would have better material than this.
Brutal.
