1.5/4	Michael Dequina	To call this 'a romantic comedy-drama' is to imply an involving emotional core and a witty sense of humor that simply aren't there. Full Review \| Comment \| Nov., 10 2009 11:13 PM	TheMovieReport.com

		Irritatingly cozy and with few unexpected turns, the film is just too cute for its own good. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	E! Online

	Arthur Lazere	Thanks to a nicely written screenplay and intelligent direction, the soap stays reasonably bubbly and doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your skin. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	culturevulture.net
