Reviews

Chicago Reader -
Despite a continuity problem or two, this is one of those rare contemporary romantic comedies that actually work.
|
|
New York Post -
As an actress, Lopez is a bit stiff, as she has been in all of her movies save "Out of Sight." It really doesn't matter much here, given the sparks between her and Fiennes and the fact that the role is pretty much form-fitted to her public persona.

|
Washington Post -
It's a warm, if pallid, romantic comedy that may not do much more to burnish Lopez's reputation, but will certainly not bruise it.

|
Film Threat -
This is by the books in every way, funny and undemanding ... and also rather sweet and heartwarming.

The New York Times -
Blandly charming.
