Another contemporary story about a woman with a successful career punished with a lousy personal life.

An amiable romantic comedy.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
50
Another romantic comedy about a career woman who has everything except a man, is Jennifer Aniston's attempt to break out of her TV role. But she doesn't have the magic on the big screen to make us forget where she came from.
By Ruthe Stein FULL REVIEW

It's a shame the plot is so contrived, because parts of this movie are really pretty good.
By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

It only serves to remind one of better movies, at a time when one needs no reminders.
By John Anderson FULL REVIEW
40
Olympia Dukakis and Illeana Douglas come off poorly in silly supporting roles that make Aniston seem to have screen presence by default. Her character's habit of compulsively adjusting her bodice ensures our attention has the proper focus.
By Lisa Alspector FULL REVIEW
40
The result is a vacuous feel-good movie that leaves you feeling nothing at all.
By Marc Savlov FULL REVIEW
