Rotten
Shrill, abrasive, cartoonishly over-the-top and badly titled.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

It could be that What Love Is is what lovers of either gender can like, thanks to equal parts misogynistic machismo and locker-room girl talk, all of it tied together with just a little bit of cozy romantic reality.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Rotten
Gooding is solid in the leading-man role. He has some of the best lines, and he's pretty much the only character you could stand to hang out with in real life.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

Now and then there is something strangely right about films this defiantly wrongheaded, but What Love Is never rises above the leaden, overbearing qualities of Callahan's dialogue and staging.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
What Love Is overflows with mind-numbing patter, bizarrely delivered with the arch formality of David Mamet, with the net effect of being yelled at for no reason.
Paige Wiser, Chicago Sun-Times
