The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNov 2, 2011
Gigandet, whose star has been rising thanks to his roles in such films as "Twilight," "Burlesque" and "Easy A," delivers a sensitive portrayal that proves he's more than just a hunk. Malone is as appealing as always, and Hartman is wonderfully fun as the Buster Poindexter-like singer. But the script lacks the depth to transcend its cutesy gimmick. Read full review

Gigandet fills every close-up with flirtatious face wrinkles, embarrassed smiles, and anything else he can think of, to the point where Jake seems downright spastic; although not terribly good at acting, Gigandet seeks to compensate for this fact by doing a lot of it. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleNov 1, 2011
Frankly, it's hard to imagine even George Clooney making such ill-used screen minutes interesting. But the movie around those moments is even worse. Read full review

Slant MagazineKalvin HenelyNov 1, 2011
Danny Buday's film is not so much skeptical of astrology as confused about it. Read full review

Unless your own horoscope recommended wasting two perfectly useful hours of your day, take a pass. Read full review
