Reviews
- "Something old, something borrowed... but still an assured, perfectly decent popcorn pleaser that sees the limber, likeable Heigl consolidate her Knocked Up lustre. Add sparky his/her chemistry and you’ve got a well-turned-out chick flick." - Jane Crowther from Total Film
- "There's no marks for originality and the dialogue doesn't actually fizz champagne-style but the comedy playing is solid with Heigl enjoying a late honeymoon period. " - Tim Evans Sky Movies
