Variety Robert Koehler

Thesping and production values are solid and sometimes even attractive, but pic's overall American-style gloss becomes extremely odd and discomforting given the setting.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

The ideal movie for people too lazy to read a Harlequin romance, this by-the-numbers love story doesn't offer a single surprise.

The New York Times Dave Kehr

Lopes along amiably enough, offering a few smiles and the standard bromides about the importance of being yourself and pursuing your dreams. It's tolerable but forgettable.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Not exactly terrible, merely stale and pointless.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Simultaneously nakedly formulaic and oddly clumsy, particularly in terms of character introduction.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

A mild cross between "The Big Chill" and "Sex and the City," this English-language German oddity is a romantic comedy passing through on its way to video.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

Sometimes the predictability of a romantic comedy is reassuring, and sometimes it makes you want to scream, as with this witless wonder.

Village Voice Ben Kenigsberg

Painfully contrived, Venus and Mars's dialogue tends toward banal (as opposed to quotably bad), and the rhythm at which lines are read is definitely alien.

Kristy R. gave it an 8:
Oh Please, I really loved this film. It's not meant to be an oscar contender, it's meant to be a sappy, romantic comedy and i love it for that.

Jacques B. gave it a 0:
Just Awful!
