Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It plays like a movie dreamed up by people in a studio marketing department who'd decided to bare their souls.

A cute premise with engaging leads but little else to keep you awake.

It's Bullock's first shot at a role in which she plays second fiddle neither to males nor special effects. And she turns out to be every bit as delightful as anyone might have expected.

rotten:
Compared to While You Were Sleeping, even the half-baked scenario of the Marisa Tomei-Robert Downey Jr. romance Only You looks witty and inventive.

[Bullock] knows one of the secrets of doing romantic comedy: treating the romance as a good joke.
