San Francisco Examiner G. Allen Johnson
The dialogue is hip, natural and observational.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
Brightly sidesteps the cliches that cling to the genre like barnacles and reinvents a lot of the old moves.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
It's sharply chiseled but not cynical, and that's a delicate line to walk.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Generally rises above the easy clichés you find in most such movies.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Rita Kempley
An endearing comic roundelay about the can't-commits.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Not quite original enough to make much of a dent in the marketplace, but it shows its stars to advantage.
Read Full Review >Slate David Edelstein
I also thrilled to identify with a male lead (Jon Favreau) who's as brilliant and crazy and self-absorbed as Woody Allen or Albert Brooks but whose self-absorption doesn't shape and color everything else in the movie.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham
It comes down to a pair of appealing performers in a series of bad-relationship skits.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Might be fun for younger teenagers who want to be reassured that people in their 30s still behave like younger teenagers.
Read Full Review >Variety Todd McCarthy
Valerie Breiman’s exceedingly slick feature is one of those cutesy items in which the characters talk about nothing but relationships and themselves.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Marc Caro
What we have here is the cinematic equivalent of a dead shark.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Watching the movie felt like any number of bad blind dates.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
Breiman brings nothing new or insightful or even all that clever, for that matter, to the familiar questions of love and sex.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
There's nothing worse than a sub-par Woody Allen knockoff.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
The script negates anything heartfelt with its flippant, almost vulgar tone.
Read Full Review >Film.com Ernest Hardy
Slick, polished to perfection, derivative and stripped of any of the real quirks or idiosyncrasies that make a romantic comedy fly.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
A romantic comedy whose sour take on romance never manages to be comic.

This movie was the first guy/girl flick. At least when his buddies aren't around to alter his thoughts.
A. H. gave it a 9:
Great. Sharp. Witty. Funny as HELL. Neurotic and still warm, Janssen and Favreau gave great performances. I rented it and watched it least 5 times I enjoyed it so much. Yeah, its got flaws, but its still great.
