This movie is okay. That is it - just okay. It lacks the depth to really draw you in. The woman in it are not glamorous but have a inner beauty that comes out on the screen. The movie explores love and is it really gender exclusive. I really wanted to like this but it just failed to engage me.

I was very open to enjoy this movie and did at the beginning. It was pleasant and entertaining if you could ignore the 'dop-tee-do' music. It had an interesting premise and I went with it for awhile until it got sillier and sillier and went on and on. Toward the end, what the characters were doing and how they were reacting was so improbable. [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Slightly hyper story, to much happening with to much characters. Nontheless a happy movie, but expect nothing too deep.

Way too talky for it's own good and very claustrophobic. The acting is okay, but not very natural . The script is trite and not very believably done. Fair.

Funny stuff.The main romance is sweet and the tension is fun to play around with, but there's also quite a lot of cheese, and the ending is unbelievably sappy. Liked it despite myself.

Mick LaSalle

San Francisco Chronicle

The film has a pleasant spirit and lively dialogue, and what's more, seems to be coming from a specific cultural and geographical location.

Rated: 3/4

Lou Lumenick

New York Post

It wrings almost no laughs or tears from this seemingly idiot-proof premise, taking 45 yawn-filled minutes to introduce its collection of severely stereotyped characters, whose conflicts then play out in excruciatingly predictable fashion.

Rated: 1/4

Bay Area Reporter

April's Shower (its 2003 copyright reflects some shelf-rot) feels like a two-hour pilot for one of those mirthless CBS comedies.

Kam Williams

Upstage Magazine

With the preordained outcome of telegraphed in its opening scene, all that's left to enjoy of this mean-spirited melodrama, are politically-incorrect laughs at the expense of a bizarre cross-section of California kooks.

Poorly shot, badly timed, lamely idiosyncratic, and annoying.
