The script just doesn't have enough comic moments to fill its 90-minute running time. Full Review |
||
|
|
Without the rom-com requisites of charm, chemistry, comedy and character, this doesn't even meet low expectations. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
Though the cast are excellent and there are several funny scenes, the film doesn’t quite work, frequently relying too much on gross-out humour and not enough on a decent script. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
It's a consistently amusing tale thanks largely to the eminently watchable cast. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
One of the laziest rom-com scripts in memory ... the only joy in the film is the way the actors approach each ludicrously silly set piece. Full Review |

For a movie with a theme of living life without deferring to fear of the risks involved, the filmmakers don't take chances in breaking the mold of run-of-the-mill romantic comedies. Full Review |

The humor of this romantic comedy is sometimes laugh-out-loud funny but too often dips into the toilet tank for sprinkles of relief when the love story veers from inspired to moronic. Full Review |

Between them, young love and bacteria bloom. Between us, bacteria consumes the movie. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
This entire movie proved to me that it's never too early to start the race for next year's Golden Razzies. Full Review |

The story is stale, but the execution is above average. Full Review |

Le film est prévisible, conventionnel et on connaît les dénouements bien avant qu’ils ne surviennent. Full Review |

|
8/10 |
Except for a few unfortunate scenes (one of which is in the trailer), it’s a funny, engaging, romantic comedy. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Un producto cálido cuyo mayor atractivo es el bagaje carismático de sus protagonistas. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Ben Stiller is either a member of Dysfunctions R Us, or else he's making a plea to be the next Woody Allen -- but even Allen himself couldn't save "Along Came Polly" Full Review |

|
1/5 |
A lot of energy is expended -- and wasted -- in this implausible comedy about opposites attracted to each other. Full Review |
