Miami Herald Cary Darling

A breezy pleasure.

Variety Dennis Harvey

A romantic comedy that treads familiar "Green Card" terrain with considerable charm if no great style or originality.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Baldly superficial, it probably should have been given a less demanding metaphor to live up to.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

Resolves the romantic dilemma in the most artificial and unsatisfying way. A blaring swing score and some obvious dubbing do little to ease the pain.

LA Weekly Paul Malcolm

Kazantzidis struggles for the flavor of classic romance, with a string of standards on the soundtrack to little avail.

Lurches queasily between ghastly broad gags and oddly engaging, character-driven laughs born of clashing cultures and expectations.

If you peel away the surface of this movie, one is left with not much at all.

The New York Times A.O. Scott

Blends the least of Woody Allen with a plot complication out of "Love, American Style," stuck together with sitcom glue.
