Critics Consensus

Fans may get a kick out of seeing Usher showcasing his charm on screen, but the movie itself is tone deaf and inconsequential, even by rom-com standards.

Tony Wong

Toronto Star

The failure is with a script as ungainly as it is and an oversimplified conception of American-Italian and black cultures.

Rated: 2/4

This thing is as formulaically bland as the rest of its Tinseltown kind.

Usher, who has a squinty charm, is forced to display an infinite polite chivalry that would have shamed Sidney Poitier.

Basically all the elements of this film are of a completely zero quality. They do not exist. [Full Review in Spanish]
