It's not that the movie is utterly bereft of arresting moments. It's just that each of these prominently features one of the aforementioned supporting cast and not the so-called star.

Rated: 1.5/4

Globe and Mail

Matters quickly regress into an antic romantic comedy, potentially buoyed by a strong cast but soon thwarted by a screenplay as leaden as it is predictable.

Rated: 2/4

Variety

Haphazardly conceived and clumsily executed, this aggressively quirky yet gratingly unfunny comedy appears set on the fast track to vidstore bins.

...there's certainly no understating the ineffectiveness of Heder's relentlessly (and irritatingly) over-the-top performance...

Rated: 1.5/4

Ana Faris is the best thing in this predictable, often silly Jon Heder movie about a spoilt son trying to sabotage his mother's new relationship

Anna Faris and Jeff Daniels and Jon Heder and Diane Keaton... what's not to like... plus Eli Wallach? It belongs next to What About Bob? or Dabney Coleman's Short Time. Curiously Big Bang start-up the same year with Simon Helberg... 2007???
