If McCulloch can draw this much humanity out of his actors, and do it in comedies with a deceptively easygoing poignancy, he's definitely a director to watch.
By Tom Keogh FULL REVIEW
75
A romantic comedy with an adult sensibility, a film that avoids characters-as-caricatures (with one exception), and deftly mixes cynicism and hope.
FULL REVIEW

Through the laughter, though, there is real empathy for the characters. It's a light-hearted movie.

It is in the "serious" moments that the film's sentiments don't ring true.

A series of moments that don't quite add up to a movie...one bland, maundering stroll.
By Jessica Winter FULL REVIEW

Populated with whiny, unappealing characters that are impossible to care about and flatly staged sitcomish set-pieces...this lame Canadian import's a real woofer.
By Kevin Maynard FULL REVIEW
20
A mangy dog of a movie that should have been re-scripted by a better writer and directed by a better filmmaker.
