External critics' reviews
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
This is not a great movie, but it's very watchable and has some good laughs. The casting of Aniston is crucial, because she's the heroine of this story, and the way it's put together there's danger of her becoming the shuttlecock. Aniston has the presence to pull it off. more
Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt
Easygoing but surprisingly likable comedy. more
Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
T. M. Griffin's script is imaginative and clever. more
The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Aniston gets marooned here: Her comic instincts are muted by all the identity angst, yet there isn't sufficient dramatic material into which she can sink her teeth. Costner strolls through this role with disarming ease. more
Portland Oregonian M. E. Russell
Sets up a situation so weird, it's almost weirder that Rob Reiner directs it as a cookie-cutter romantic comedy. more
San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
The movie has that fatal triptych that is becoming Reiner's romantic-comedy signature: drippy sentiment, zany scenes that trivialize the characters and a horror of adventure. more
TV Guide Ken Fox
Not much to laugh about -- or shout about for that matter. more
USA Today Claudia Puig
The story, though initially intriguing, is dicey. A seminal social satire has been spun off into a passionless romance and a wan comedy. more
ReelViews James Berardinelli
An unfocused mess, with poor chemistry all around and an ending that's as firm and satisfying as an overcooked noodle. more
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
The real weak point is Reiner's listless direction, with too few scenes that almost gel and too many that fall flat. more
