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.

75
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.

75
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Half a good romantic comedy. Luke Wilson is the good half...The weak half is Natasha Henstridge.

67
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
This shambling romantic comedy...clings to a sensibility that's imperviously, uncompromisingly Canadian.

60
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Odd yet thoughtful romantic comedy.

60
Newsweek
Kevin Stuart
Through the laughter, though, there is real empathy for the characters. It's a light-hearted movie.
50
LA Weekly
Roger Thornhill
It is in the "serious" moments that the film's sentiments don't ring true.

50
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
A slack-paced, surprisingly bland affair, filled with jokes that sound like they should be funny but aren't.
40
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
A series of moments that don't quite add up to a movie...one bland, maundering stroll.

40
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Hepola
Quirky, but ultimately disappointing, romantic comedy.

30
Los Angeles Times
Robin Rauzi
Peel away the layers of contrivances, however, and the leftover plot barely fills a doggy bag.

29
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.
25
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.
