Plays like a college version of ''When Harry Met Sally.''

Starts with such promising quirkiness that it's easy to forget for the moment that you are watching a teen comedy.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Prinze and Forlani coast on charisma alone, but even their charms can't coax magic from the prosaic dialogue and romantic clichés that clog this listless comedy.

Washington Post
An adolescent romance that isn't smart enough to mirror "When Harry Met Sally" or crudely amusing enough to get close to "American Pie."

Chicago Reader
The material is familiar, the Berkeley locations are strictly boilerplate, and there are times when the characters seem more like high school students than college kids.

May be among the most excruciating mainstream movies to spew forth from Hollywood in years.

Film.com
It's insulting and devalues the experience of watching not just this film but all films.

Austin Chronicle
A paint-by-numbers romantic comedy, but without the heart or laughs to make it work.

Village Voice
A cat-and-dog romantic squabbler so garbled you'd need a centrifuge to sort things out.

Calling Boys and Girls the year's worst movie makes it sound more entertaining than it actually is.
