67A fresh and beautifully timed, if slight, romantic comedy.
-
40Slight, over-long.
-
40Wants to be many things, but ends up being not much of anything.
-
It's cute and jokey and has no particular edge.
-
38Good-natured but mostly unfunny.
-
30Goes into a tailspin after its impressive setup. Its dramatic tactics become so tangled and diffuse that, by the end, you get the feeling that everything gets tied up too hastily.
-
30A mediocre ensemble comedy-drama that's not particularly funny, involving or even nostalgic.
-
30The movie's repeated attempts to combine seriousness and humor as in a blender give it a dysfunctionally earnest tone.
-
The storyline isn't coherent, the music stinks, the characters are one-dimensional, the dialogue is insipid and it is neither funny nor romantic.
-
25A desperately unfunny comedy that wastes a brand-name cast.
-
20Tiresome vanity project.
-
20A miserable failure.
-
By appearing in The Suburbans, a stunningly laugh-free comedy, (Jennifer Love Hewitt)'s already gotten her career-worst movie out of the way.
-
10So utterly awful, you're tempted to build a time machine, then go back in history and try to make sure Ward's parents never meet.
