Reviews


90
The New York Times - Elvis Mitchell
This is a formula film, but it has the kind of good cheer and fine tuning that occasionally give slickness a good name.
80
Empire - Unnamed
Bullock is a delight, disarmingly kooky, pleasing to look at, and - as she has previously proved - a gifted comedic actress.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It's a feel-good film, warm and good-hearted, and as it was heading for its happy ending, I was still a little astonished how much I was enjoying it.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Stack
It's a feel-good deal you can take the whole family to, or even better, a date. And this almost cuddly film, built on a farfetched case of mistaken identity, delivers plenty of fun.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The plot runs out of steam just past the one-hour mark and the charade, although necessary to the story, goes on for too long. The ending is, of course, the requisite happy one, but it seems a little anticlimactic.
