Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
As a goofy little fantasy, however, this film has loads of charm.

New York Post -
Prime date fare, but cotton-candy light and occasionally just a little too whimsical.

Chicago Sun-Times -
This is the kind of movie you sort of like, and yet even while you're liking it, you're thinking how much better these characters and this situation could have been with a little more imagination and daring.

New York Daily News -
Gets the proportions all wrong -- too much magic, not enough realism.

San Francisco Examiner -
Not the sweaty midnight stroll through the garden of carnal delights that its title wants you to believe.
