With a charming and funny cast, there's lots to like about What I Like About You. [19 Sept 2002]

Feb 24, 2013
It's all fairly paint-by-numbers with a fair amount of physical comedy, yet I couldn't help laughing out loud at times - watching Bynes give a terrier the Heimlich maneuver, for example. [20 Sept 2002, p.E1]

Feb 24, 2013
Bynes, whose career on Nickelodeon, culminating with The Amanda Show, gives her instant recognition with the desired audience, is about as established a comedian as any 16-year-old can be. [20 Sept 2002, p.D13]

It's rare for someone of Bynes' age to play like Chevy Chase, stumbling over suitcases, getting pounded by closing elevator doors, and tumbling off beds. She does the stunts effortlessly. But Garth looks distressed while crashing into tables and falling over couches. Slapstick works when played to the comic hilt, not coming off like you're actually killing yourself. [20 Sept 2002, p.C5]

Insipid. [20 Sept 2002, p.C1]

Any smart girl would also wish for humor at a higher level than slapstick broccoli on the eyeball or a 12-year- old boy drooling, "You're kinda easy on the peepers." [20 Sept 2002]

Even skateboard star Tony Hawk, in a guest appearance, is wasted - as your time will be, if you tune in. [20 Sept 2002, p.136]
