This movie seriously sucked. How Sam M. or NH or Sandra D or Kris L gave it an 8 or 9 baffles me. I read a bunch of fairly positive reviews and just couldn't have been more disappointed in the film.

I read a bunch of fairly positive reviews and just couldn't have been more disappointed in the film. I'm guessing Hunt is still coasting on her former cuteness and Oscar win --- otherwise why in the world would these reviewers cave in like they did? A weak plot, spotty directing (nothing fresh here) miscasting... Plus who would ever belive Colin Firth's character would fall for Hunt's character (or Firth for Hunt). Should have walked out. Expand

This was one of the worst films I've ever seen. Cliche after cliche. Constant Helen Hunt sour mouth pose. Stereotypical Jewish grandmother. Ridiculous sex scene in a car. Direction was all over the place.

This movie is a stinker. One of the worst movies I've seen. Awkward acting by the leads and impossible dialogue make it make for a frightful 100 minutes. Had Hunt had a director much of the amateur stuff could have been avoided. There This movie is a stinker. One of the worst movies I've seen. Awkward acting by the leads and impossible dialogue make it make for a frightful 100 minutes. Had Hunt had a director much of the amateur stuff could have been avoided. There is nothing in found me that good. The screen play especially grievous. Other professional reviewers have mum on just how bad this movie is. Shame on them ! Expand

Terrible all around, jumpy editing, stale acting, and Skeletor in the main acting role.

an unpleasant evening spent in the theater getting through this vanity project. Hunt says again and again and again that just one layer underneath, each of the characters is 100% autobiographical. I believe the whiny overwrought, put upon an unpleasant evening spent in the theater getting through this vanity project. Hunt says again and again and again that just one layer underneath, each of the characters is 100% autobiographical. I believe the whiny overwrought, put upon character she plays, deep wrinkles and all, absolutely is her. The rest who knows. Also, Hunt has lamented how long it took her to raise the money and how hard it was to get this off the ground over a ten year period and how hard it was to make the movie on a shoestring, didn't pay the other actors, etc....she made $1 million per episode the last year of her sitcom, made tens of millions for her movies post-Oscar, is dating the writer/executive producer of a tv series -- why didn't she stop her whining years ago and put up the money for this tiny budget movie herself or ask her baby daddy to chip in. Bizarre on every level and it shows in the film. Expand

The worst movie I have seen in years. It is boring, the story is flat, and overall, the movie has no drive. Watch only if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

I'd never again trust a critic who had anything good to say about this stinker.
