    A romantic comedy that treads familiar "Green Card" terrain with considerable charm if no great style or originality.
  3. Baldly superficial, it probably should have been given a less demanding metaphor to live up to.
  4. 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.
  5. 40
    Lurches queasily between ghastly broad gags and oddly engaging, character-driven laughs born of clashing cultures and expectations.
  6. 40
    Kazantzidis struggles for the flavor of classic romance, with a string of standards on the soundtrack to little avail.
  7. Quickly becomes silly and tedious.
  8. If you peel away the surface of this movie, one is left with not much at all.
  9. The cheesy idiot-twin of Pawel Pawlikowski's superb "Last Resort."
  10. 20
    Blends the least of Woody Allen with a plot complication out of "Love, American Style," stuck together with sitcom glue.
