Critics Consensus

This coming-of-age film's young, attractive cast helps to mitigate the stultifying dialogue and uninspired direction.

Time Out

The Swiss-quartz comic timing of the film's ensemble cast makes its neurotic characters more compelling than your average cinematic slackers.

Ebert & Roeper

This is a hit and miss romantic comedy with a few solid laughs and some pretty smart dialogue.

I continue to enjoy Van Der Beek's willingness to play obnoxiously against type -- it turns out as a big-headed hero, he's boring, but as a big-headed ***, he's a funny guy.

...a progressively endearing effort that boasts several superb performances and a brisk, downright fun sensibility.

Arizona Daily Star

An independent, dialogue-heavy film that from the looks of it was made more with fun and passion than money.

A decent effort that didn't turn out as well as it should have. it has it's moments, some humor, some drama. The ending kinda makes up for a lot. I'd probably watch it again.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Great young cast for a mediocre, seen it all before film. Some touching moments here and there, and the hen and stag parties were amusing, but overall this was just average.

It was entertaining, but I don't think I'd watch it again. Good cast though.
