Critic Reviews

Joe Morgenstern

It's very funny, terrifically lively and, considering how awful it might have been, surprisingly tender in its portrait of a young guy who learns sensitivity the hard way.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

This is smooth and at times even sensual -- a well-oiled machine. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

The movie is both exhilarating and depressing. The trouble is, I can't figure out which is more important. Read full review

Carla Meyer

Builds up comic force in its first half. But then it blows it, leaving the audience feeling unsatisfied. Read full review

Peter Rainer

Sets out to demonstrate that life is about more than having sex. Inadvertently -- I think -- it ends up showing us just the opposite. As if we didn't already know. Read full review

Steve Simels

This is a smart and witty romantic farce that mixes sweet and sexy with surprising aplomb. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

So eyeball-gougingly awful that you're tempted to give up movies for Lent. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it due to its pleasure from a sex comedy and has a fantastic romantic story between the two main characters but in the end, it's not so much of a comedy after you know who rapes Josh Hartnett.… Expand

Same old boring recycled rom com plot. Not even the no sex rule is new. There's nothing clever or funny about the dialogue. Next time let's just save some time and send the script straight to the XXX lots so the Hartnett fangirls can have their porn and leave real cinema to the big boys.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly painful to watch. You can't buy Hartnett being regretful abt sleeping with women day in day out and simping for this one unremarkable broad all of a sudden. It's pc romantic crap that just comes across as cringe. Just flush this down the toilet and watch something else.… Expand
