Words almost fail me after watching this terrible romantic comedy from Griffin Dunne which is perilously described as a "sort of Carole Lombard screwball comedy". Would that it were.

Sadly, as Thurman dithers between her two suitors – one a fiery free spirit, the other as wet as an otter’s pocket – her decisions become ever more baffling. Even her sparky performance fails to fire the rather soggy finale.
02/29/08
A plot of insufferable silliness contrives to keep the lovers on tenterhooks and the audience in a permanent cringe, none of it helped by Thurman's thoroughly phony performance.
02/29/08
This ludicrous effort is more catastrophe than accident.

This week we learned that 99% of Sun readers want a return to capital punishment. I learned that 100% of me wants it for 100% of people involved in this romcom.

Top CriticThe prognosis: a total emotional block.

Top CriticLimp, transparently plotted flight fodder.
02/28/08
Even rom-com's need a relatively believable premise but the idea that you can find yourself hitched as a result of a few clicks on your keyboard is really pushing it.
02/28/08
Dismal romantic comedy that gets everything wrong, thanks to an appalling script, bad performances, embarrassing stereotypes, zero chemistry between the leads and painfully unfunny jokes.
02/28/08
A hodge-podge of random story elements that seem to emerge from the land that logic forgot, including a Bollywood segment.

Top CriticThe film is hinged on unapologetic formula, looking to enchant the viewer through the act of repetition, but the writing isn't smart enough to wipe the dust off the plot.
