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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Half a good romantic comedy. Luke Wilson is the good half...The weak half is Natasha Henstridge.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
This shambling romantic comedy...clings to a sensibility that's imperviously, uncompromisingly Canadian.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Sarah Hepola
Quirky, but ultimately disappointing, romantic comedy.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Robin Rauzi
Peel away the layers of contrivances, however, and the leftover plot barely fills a doggy bag.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
