Pinkett Smith, who was so good in her supporting role in The Nutty Professor, is here little more than a mannequin for skimpy clothes.

Tomatometer
Rotten
A romantic comedy that strains for the screwball heights of Bringing Up Baby but mainly seems unfunny and unpleasant.
Dave Kehr, New York Daily News
Rotten
Woo disappoints on so many levels, lacking in wit and intelligence, characters with any sense of dimension and a coherent story line.
Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times
Rotten
A painfully graceless comedy that reworks After Midnight, Blind Date and Booty Call into something monstrous and untoward.
John Anderson, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The whole thing is rude and pathetic, more like a lengthy episode of a bad sitcom than a movie, chock full of the kind of sexual innuendoes that are guaranteed to please horny eighth-graders or people who laugh at those Playboy party jokes.
Paul Tatara, CNN.com
