New York Post Rod Dreher

It's as light as a feather yet tickles all the same.

LA Weekly F. X. Feeney

This bright farce is spun from interlocking coincidences that only seem far-fetched.

TV Guide Steve Simels

The cast is aces, and Peter Morgan's screenplay is both very sharp on male sexual politics and crammed with enough comic twists and turns to keep you interested.

Film.com Henry Cabot Beck

A rather flimsy but moderately charming British romance comedy.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

A pale, derivative little Brit ditty that will be forgotten almost as speedily as it was dumped...into theaters.

USA Today Mike Clark

Close your eyes during this miserable romantic comedy.

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

Features the dullest, least lifelike collection of pals this side of "Eyes Wide Shut."

Newsweek Ann-Rebecca Laschever

Despite some funny lines and situations, this comedy falls short.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

The story is a clever sitcomy contraption, the dialogue is pedestrian.

Elizabeth S. gave it a 10:
This movie was wonderful. It was fun and interesting throughout it's entirity. Joseph Fiennes was eye candy through it all!!

Rachel B. gave it a 10:
It was a fabulous romance, with Gorgeous color. Throughout every scene, every detail, from the roses, to the walls of the hotels Potter stays in-Everything is a pale pink, blue, or purple. Even Fienne's pink shirt while in the diner with his friends matches the pink paint splattered on the wall. The movie was a visual masterpiece. a quaint masterpiece, but a masterpiece just the same.

Meg W. gave it a 9:
Great flick... not an award winner, but still a great romantic comedy.
