Anthony Lane New Yorker Half a great movie. Nov 9, 2020 Full Review Kevin Jackson Independent (UK) In the last analysis, it's just not clever enough. May 23, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Alison Jones and Russell Rhodes Birmingham Mail Meg Ryan exudes boffin next door while Tim Robbins combines sensitivity with street savvy and manages to make a science lecture sound like a love sonnet. Rated: 4/5 Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Ryan and Robbins are miscast in that they both are kooky stars and the script calls for opposites that attract. The scheming is too heavy-handed to be really funny. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Betsy Bozdech Common Sense Media Breezy, quirky romcom is predictable but sweet. Rated: 3/5 Oct 15, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Ace R I love this movie! Some people do not give this film a lot of stars. They do not understand the value in this film, because they do not have open minds, as Albert Einstein did. He once said: "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits". This is so true. I highly recommend that you see this movie.
