This film is as messy as its lead character Gwen's (Tripplehorn) personal life.

Reviews for 'Til There Was You
Even if they never met, nothing about this movie would be different except the last two or three minutes. Not exactly a ringing example of great writing or involving direction.

When you combine the film's tedious length with questionable casting decisions (Parker disappoints, and Jennifer Aniston plays a surgeon(!?)) you get a fine mess that eventually redeems itself... just not all the way.

A big waste of time.

Like most episodic tales, some episodes are better than others; but even the good ones aren't as fully developed as they might be.
01/01/00
Tripplehorn and McDermott are likable enough in their roles, but Holzman's precious, overwritten script gives them few genuinely honest moments.

Top CriticThe payoff, such as it is, is distressingly anticlimactic, and results in frustration.

pure plastic, flat and transparent. All involved were all too obviously aiming for another ``Sleepless In Seattle,'' but what they've produced is a cinematic siesta.

Winnie Holzman's screenplay is uneven.

Top CriticA tired piece of romantic cornball fare that harks back to a bygone era, the film is a badly conceived, poorly executed fairy tale guaranteed to make audiences squirm in their seats.

Top CriticThe film's real irony is that Gwen and Nick are so annoying that they deserve each other.

With its clotted script, art direction that's all splash and no style, and dialogue that's too nakedly calculated to facilitate identification), this tedious and confused movie points several characters in obvious directions.

Graceless star Tripplehorn -- who's called upon to execute a painful series of pratfalls in a high-tech restaurant -- is not a natural comedian, and overall the movie is awkward and leaden.

It is so poorly executed that if you didn't know going in that these two were supposed to meet, you'd never figure out what the movie is about.

Bad romantic comedies with sappy characters aren't always without merit, since we cynics can at least use them to further our conviction that love isn't worth the trouble. But this bad romantic comedy is merely bad.
