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.

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

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