- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A romantic comedy so rote, dull and predictable that it makes You've Got Mail seem innovative and fresh."
-
"Unbearable were Witherspoon not such a genuinely attractive performer"
-
"Witherspoon has charmed her way through weak material before, but she's too inexperienced to save the character from director Andy Tennant"
-
"Trying to resist Reese is like trying to resist Reese's Pieces: They're always the same but you can't help yourself."
