  • Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd

  1. Much of that appeal comes from compelling performances by the two main actors.
  2. It's just more wry than funny, more a gently subversive comedy of modern manners than the simpering date movie it seems to be masquerading as.
  3. Easier to watch than it is to believe.
  4. Reviewed by: David Denby
