Critic Reviews

Chris Kaltenbach

McConaughey and (especially) Hudson manage to make it all work, maintaining their likability even in situations where they inevitably end up acting like jerks. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

At least it's a pleasant walk, with attractive people and nice conversation Read full review

James Berardinelli

What's missing? Simple: the romance. This movie is so intent upon getting cheap laughs and putting the protagonists in uncomfortable situations that it forgets they're supposed to be falling in love. Read full review

Laura Sinagra

With a premise this screwy, nobody has any choice but to follow the savvy lead of Bebe Neuwirth, who, as Hudson's "Composure" editor, hams her queen-bitch-mother-hen role to glazed perfection. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Some of the scenarios are funny. But they're uniformly overplayed. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

The movie isn't all bad, and it's sure to succeed with its target audience.

Dallas Observer Gregory Weinkauf

All in all, the only lesson here is how to irritate. This is a stupid movie for stupid people. If you're a stupid person, knock yourself out. Please Read full review

Very clever thought out movie. So funny I can't help but like this movie. One is trying to make her fall in love in days, and the other one is trying to make him break up with her in 10 days.

The chemistry between Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson breathes life into what would have otherwise been a formulaic romantic comedy, making it especially engaging.
