Rod Dreher

It's as light as a feather yet tickles all the same. Read full review

F. X. Feeney

This bright farce is spun from interlocking coincidences that only seem far-fetched. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

A pale, derivative little Brit ditty that will be forgotten almost as speedily as it was dumped...into theaters. Read full review

Mike Clark

Close your eyes during this miserable romantic comedy. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Features the dullest, least lifelike collection of pals this side of "Eyes Wide Shut."

Monica Potter found the film initially scary at first, as there was a lot of dialogue and she wasn't used to that, whereas her previous film role was a supporting one in "Con Air."
