	Geoff Andrew	A romantic triangle dating movie as confected, and nearly as wholesome, as a '50s Universal bedroom farce, but lacking the confidence and zest. Full Review \| Comment \| Jun., 24 2006 03:52 AM	Time Out
3.5/5	Rich Cline	A thoroughly entertaining little film, full of terrific performances and some hilarious moments. Full Review \| Comment \| Dec., 10 2001 06:24 PM	Shadows on the Wall
3/4	Ian Waldron-Mantgani	A smart and good-natured picture, conscientious without pretension, a good mixture of romance, buddy movie, and verbal and thematic humour. Trust me. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	UK Critic

3/4	Jeffrey M. Anderson	A slight and uneven but very charming romantic comedy. Full Review \| Comment \| May., 26 2006 03:16 AM	Combustible Celluloid
C	Frank Swietek	Well-meaning and decently put together, and it has occasional moments of charm...[but] more than a trifle stale. Full Review \| Comment \| Dec., 06 2005 07:54 PM	One Guy's Opinion
4/5	Ron Wells	I sure wasn't expecting much. Full Review \| Comment \| Dec., 06 2005 07:54 PM	Film Threat
	Louis B. Parks	The ending gets a little too cute, and isn't true to Anna's independent nature. Oh well, to forgive is divine. Full Review \| Comment \| Jul., 21 2005 03:45 AM	Houston Chronicle
B	Robin Clifford	Epic dramas can be two hours or more. For light comedy, brevity is better. What could have been a great comedy is just a good one. Full Review \| Comment \| Apr., 09 2005 03:55 AM	Reeling Reviews
3/4	Jeanne Aufmuth	The script administers a relentless string of laughs, most of them genuinely funny. Full Review \| Comment \| May., 14 2003 05:20 PM	Palo Alto Weekly
4.5/5	John R. McEwen	It's a unique blend of charisma, wisdom, and emotion, rendered in a most appealing package. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 08 2003 08:39 AM	Film Quips Online
	Jean Lowerison	There is genuine chemistry among this trio that is fun to watch, and the script will keep you giggling. Full Review \| Comment \| Oct., 21 2002 08:36 AM	San Diego Metropolitan
3/4	Margaret A. McGurk	The movie's biggest surprise is the fine balance it strikes in navigating the tricky passage between offensive and funny. Full Review \| Comment \| Oct., 15 2002 08:33 AM	Cincinnati Enquirer
B+	Brent Simon	A charmingly sloppy affair [full of] banter and the free-wheeling spirit of old Hollywood romances... a sun-drenched cinematic field trip. Full Review \| Comment \| Sep., 12 2002 12:30 PM	Entertainment Today
