An enjoyable little trifle, and you can't help but think Hedden wasn't aiming for much more. Go to Full Review
Gary Susman Village Voice 07/24/2001
Most of the performances feel both spontaneous and lived-in, particularly Scott's exasperated romantic. Go to Full Review

Mark N 11/28/2022 A festivus for the rest.of us. See more 12/05/2008 Not good. Boring story, barely managed to keep my attention. Typical straight to video b-grade movie. To be honest, I was only watching for Michael Pitt's bit part in it though. LOL. One and a half stars for that half minute - half a star for the rest of the movie! See more 12/07/2007 the only romantic comedy I like, and really only for one line, but it makes me laugh every single time See more 04/27/2007 great movie all around See more 01/04/2007 Not a particularly interesting story, the acting is okay but you don't get attached to any of the characters.
