Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
A good-natured but trivial Manhattan romantic comedy. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
A wretched comedy about middle-aged romance. Read full review

New York PostMegan Lehmann
Clayburgh is the most dignified thing about this dreadfully overwrought, often preposterous romantic comedy. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
The germ of a better film lies in that joke, but Schaeffer doesn't quite dig it out. Instead, we get painfully unfunny scenes that make us think that when it comes to writing comedy, Schaeffer should stick to his own rule: never again. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
The movie, like its lovers, is really two films smushed together in the faint hope that sheer incongruity can grind out laughter. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps
Clayburgh and Tambor demonstrate genuine chemistry, but the film keeps diluting it with awful attempts at comedy and worse attempts at drama. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'Sullivan

Washington PostStephen Hunter
A meet-cute whimsy set among divorced fifty-somethings in New York, it blunders on toward oblivion, excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic. Read full review

Rarely does a film so graceless and devoid of merit as this one come along. Read full review
