Critics' Reviews

75
Boston Globe: Wesley Morris
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey don't simply star in this movie; they tag-team it out of the Freddie Prinze Jr. --Julia Stiles puppy-love ghetto.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Michael O'Sullivan
At least it's a pleasant walk, with attractive people and nice conversationRead Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
What's missing? Simple: the romance. This movie is so intent upon getting cheap laughs and putting the protagonists in uncomfortable situations that it forgets they're supposed to be falling in love.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Dana Stevens

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
There is no shape or pacing to Daniel Petrie's movie. It's like a bottle of soda left uncapped. So thus a story that promised effervescence ends up being flat.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
How to lose an audience in 10 minutes: Cobble together a predictable and forced romantic comedy that should have been funnier.Read Full Review »
50
Village Voice: Laura Sinagra
With a premise this screwy, nobody has any choice but to follow the savvy lead of Bebe Neuwirth, who, as Hudson's "Composure" editor, hams her queen-bitch-mother-hen role to glazed perfection.Read Full Review »
