Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
It is amazing how writer-director Neil Turitz, a seasoned journalist, has taken the familiar ingredients of the spiky New York dating game movie and made them seem so fresh and original, filled with individuals acutely detailed and compassionately observed.

Intermittently amusing.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
Turitz keeps it comic and romantic in just the right doses. Looking for a fun date flick? You found it.

Manages to gracefully step out of the way of its own referential overload.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Peet and Poor make strong impressions in smaller roles, but then again, edgy and sexy is easier to make compelling than decent and nice.

TV Guide Steve Simels
A likeable, if somewhat whitebread, farce in the Woody Allen mode about love in the big city.

Should have gone straight to video. It'll be there soon enough.

The New York Times Stephen Holden
In this elongated, formula-ridden sitcom posing as a movie, the date-weary Manhattan singles exchanging acerbic banter suggest the tougher, far less intellectual offspring of Woody Allen characters drenched in a whiny Seinfeldian dyspepsia.

Kurt K. gave it a 9:
This is the type of film that Hollywood has been lacking. It's real, but fun. People talk like normal people in this movie. It's almost an extension of Ron Livinston's character, in Swingers. I loved this movie. If you like good film, you will like this film.

Jon gave it a 7:
was expecting crap but really enjoied it.

Tim B. gave it a 0:
Embarassing junk.

Mike B. gave it a 9:
Wasn't expecting a great movie. Started watching it and I couldn't stop. Is a great movie, with great acting performances. I gave it a 9, cause nothing is really a 10. Rent this movie and sit down and watch it. Bring a date if you can get one. "Two Ninas" is charming.

Juliette L. gave it a 9:
I thought this movie was VERY entertaining, cute, and fun! I guess i like it so much because i can relate to it, AND of course because Bray Poor looks so damn hot :)
