Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle: Virtually every step the Runaway narrative takes produces collisions with credulity! Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more

Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: A cheerful, cheeky, agreeable comedy made doubly palatable by two stars in perfectly balanced chemistry. Read more

Janet Maslin, New York Times: It works without exactly showing signs of life. Read more

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Marshall is too much of a softie; he meanders around the story, milking it for both sentiment and comedy and often tripping over himself in the process. Read more

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Flawed and unpleasant! Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: We can no longer buy Roberts in her tearful romantic - melancholy mode. Read more

Globe and Mail: Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A clumsy motion picture that strives so hard for the perfect romantic ending that it triggers a gag reflex along the way. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: After seeing Gere and Roberts play much smarter people, it is painful to see them dumbed down here. Read more

Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com: Roberts and Gere try gamely to look at each other as if there's a scintilla of frisson between them, but often as not they're forced to eschew the drama and go for absurd overacting. Read more

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle: Read more

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more

Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: Quite clever and appealing! Read more

Amy Taubin, Village Voice: Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: That charming thing only works if the story is good. Read more
