John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Overly slick and packaged, complete with intrusive product placement for beer, soda and potato chips. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Overly obvious yet often funny. Read more
Loren King, Chicago Tribune: A listless, witless battle-of-the-sexes movie that's nothing more than a canned sitcom with more sex and 'ho' references. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: An endearing romantic comedy that pokes fun at the ridiculous things people do for love. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: It does manage to be more fun than most romantic comedies these days. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: No one in this buppie fantasia, including its creative team, seems to have any interest in leaving the high school of the mind. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A pleasant enough entry in that category, if you like your romantic comedies short on love and long on battle-of-the-sexes gamesmanship. Read more
Norman Wilner, Toronto Star: The movie doesn't just hate women; it despises them. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: The actors all have great charisma and play their parts with verve. The film goes down painlessly, and even the biggest curmudgeon is guaranteed to get at least a couple of laughs out of it. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Fox and Chestnut, with their fine looks and fine wardrobes, are all dressed up for a party that most guests bailed on in the last days of the old millennium. Read more
Kevin Courrier, Globe and Mail: Brown ... doesn't create satirical sex comedies so much as etiquette guides out of Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie does have charm and moments of humor. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: [Brown's] writing is often insightful, and he manages to split the viewpoint between men and women. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Few recent movies have conceived their central female character more contemptuously -- a fanatic for a lifestyle that appears to have come from the bestselling The Rules and someone who is obviously set up for a satiric fall. Read more
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice: The only truth Brown reveals in this mean-spirited slag is what a world-class misogynist he is. Read more
