The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

Weinstock takes you down a well-trod path in romantic comedy, but her characters are smart and funny, the twists are unexpected.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

Moreau is this film's irreplaceable epicenter. With her radiant smile and unquenchable spirit, she carries this film on her shoulders, and makes it all look, well, easy.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

The movie ends on exactly the right note, but it hits a lot of bad ones on the way.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Weinstock's trump is Moreau, a natural-born charmer.

The New York Times Anita Gates

Ms. Weinstock does accomplish something quite tricky, though. She does an impressive job of capturing the brave messiness of single life, or at least of 20-something dating, and her sex scenes have a rare feel of authenticity.

It all feels pretty empty.

Variety Robert Koehler

Increasingly complicated comic maneuvers turn what should have been a hip look at sexuality into an antsy pic too busy to settle down.

New York Post V.A. Musetto

Will go down in history as the movie that showed a turtle getting an enema. It also features a hot performance by Marguerite Moreau.

Village Voice Ben Kenigsberg

The romantic woes of one attractive, privileged, intellectually overreaching acupuncture enthusiast don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

LA Weekly Kim Morgan

In forced, quirky tedium, it drags us through love triangles, mommy issues and crying jags that make you want to shake this chick.

Stephen B. gave it a 2:
A romantic comedy that should have been funny, but missed all the beats. Ms Moreau, the star of this movie, comes across as far too pleased with herself, though she does try hard at being a little more than two dimensional, and it seems to me, that writer/director, Ms Weinstock would have been better off paying for shrink or two, instead of putting us through this mindnumbing psycho-wanna-be-comedy.
