Reviews

"Tossed into the summer season, pic is at best a relatively harmless way to enjoy air conditioning for those who admire Williams' ability to riff, even at his most irritating; otherwise, Warner Bros. should see its theatrical stay quickly annulled."—Variety¹

"I wish I could tell you that this combination makes a great comedy film and resurrects Williams' comic career, but if you have seen the trailers for this film, you have seen most of the funny moments and are not missing anything in this by-the-numbers rom/com."—Film Threat²
