Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A by-the-numbers romantic comedy.

rotten:
With its stock characters and low-expectation high jinks, the German import "What a Man" could have been fabricated on the Hollywood rom-com assembly line.

rotten:

It may hit all-too-familiar notes, but its sureness of tone makes Mr. Schweighofer a talent to watch.

fresh:
Notwithstanding its slavish adherence to familiar genre conventions, the film nonetheless makes for reasonably fun viewing, thanks to its off-kilter humor and the chemistry exhibited by Scheweighofer and Kekilli.
