Amy Nicholson I.E. Weekly 05/05/2010
There's little fun in being asked to identify with yet another female character who spends her running time being shamed like a dog who soiled the rug. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 02/29/2008
1/5
Words almost fail me after watching this terrible romantic comedy from Griffin Dunne which is perilously described as a "sort of Carole Lombard screwball comedy". Would that it were. Go to Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 02/29/2008
1/5
A plot of insufferable silliness contrives to keep the lovers on tenterhooks and the audience in a permanent cringe, none of it helped by Thurman's thoroughly phony performance. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 07/14/2024
2.5/4
...a predominantly watchable romcom that benefits from its brisk running time and plethora of affable performances... Go to Full Review Shalini Langer The Indian Express 01/27/2018
Any script that dresses up Sarita Chaudhury in an ill-fitting salwar-kameez and casts her as a middle-aged housewife needs crucial changes. Go to Full Review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media 09/02/2010

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 25 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more judy b Jan 29 Not even remotely funny and very improbable. See more erdene c 07/23/2024 Emma's love story is exciting See more Uynga U 07/21/2024 Always ends up love eachother See more Bahad j 07/20/2024 In my opinion, I felt that the movie was very good, behind all this, the filmmaker was able to come up with the right festive details to congratulate the members of the behind-the-scenes team. See more Munkhjargal A 07/20/2024 she would have tricked him into falling in love with another guy, but on the contrary, he had fallen in love with her. This movie is an interesting movie with heart See more Read all reviews
