Film.com Tom Keogh

If McCulloch can draw this much humanity out of his actors, and do it in comedies with a deceptively easygoing poignancy, he's definitely a director to watch.

Boston Globe Jim Sullivan

A romantic comedy with an adult sensibility, a film that avoids characters-as-caricatures (with one exception), and deftly mixes cynicism and hope.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Half a good romantic comedy. Luke Wilson is the good half...The weak half is Natasha Henstridge.

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

This shambling romantic comedy...clings to a sensibility that's imperviously, uncompromisingly Canadian.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Odd yet thoughtful romantic comedy.

Newsweek Kevin Stuart

Through the laughter, though, there is real empathy for the characters. It's a light-hearted movie.

LA Weekly Roger Thornhill

It is in the "serious" moments that the film's sentiments don't ring true.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

A slack-paced, surprisingly bland affair, filled with jokes that sound like they should be funny but aren't.

Village Voice Jessica Winter

A series of moments that don't quite add up to a movie...one bland, maundering stroll.

Austin Chronicle Sarah Hepola

Quirky, but ultimately disappointing, romantic comedy.

Los Angeles Times Robin Rauzi

Peel away the layers of contrivances, however, and the leftover plot barely fills a doggy bag.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

Populated with whiny, unappealing characters that are impossible to care about and flatly staged sitcomish set-pieces...this lame Canadian import's a real woofer.

New York Daily News Ron Givens

If a movie smells like a dog and barks like a dog, well, then it must be a woofer.

TNT RoughCut Christopher Brandon

A mangy dog of a movie that should have been re-scripted by a better writer and directed by a better filmmaker.
