Andrew M. gave it an 8:
Renee Zellweger gets this two more points than it would otherwise deserve. It really is a shallow film in parts. Disguised as a romantic comedy-drama, it's really a character study of someone who has little character. Tom Cruise is not likeable for much of the film, even when down on his luck professionally. What saves it is there are enough engaging moments throughout to keep you involved in the story, and of course the gorgeous Zellweger's disarming performance. Well, it must be good because I still get a tear in the eye everytime I watch this film.
Pat C. gave it a 3:
A horse opera of a different color. A thoroughbred saddled with burlap & chintz, then ridden hard on Cruise control straight to the glue factory. In other words, a fresh approach diverted into familiar channels until it has no resemblance to its original impetus. So sad that there are moments of dialogue so fresh, precise and unforgettable. But the film is so heavy handed. Zellweger's initial stand of loyalty to Cruise was so emotionally justifying that I was forced to skip over the basic question of What the hell provoked her to do that? No one is that good of heart in the workplace, where the goal is to, rain on your parade, keep one's job. It's such poor taste to say "Don't patronize me," but that's what I say here, not "I'm stupid take my money again please and pull every string I've got." Impossible to describe in technical terms what happened to this film during its construction without using profanity.

Great, one of the best romantic comdies of all-time. It's also the second best film of the year.
