Geoff Pevere Toronto Star 12/14/2007
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review
Rick Groen Globe and Mail 12/14/2007
2/4
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. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 12/03/2007
Haphazardly conceived and clumsily executed, this aggressively quirky yet gratingly unfunny comedy appears set on the fast track to vidstore bins. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
...there's certainly no understating the ineffectiveness of Heder's relentlessly (and irritatingly) over-the-top performance... Go to Full Review
Louise Keller Urban Cinefile 08/09/2008
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 Go to Full Review

Ed R @JustcallmeER Nov 3 Such a shame with a star-studded cast that they would produce such a poor movie! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 17 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Nicolas P May 19 Jon Heder is absolutely terrible in this movie. His characters personality seems to change in every scene. It is dreadful to watch him "act" in this. I am not sure they knew what to do with his character - the main character - in the movie. He is sometimes: goofy, nerdy, smart, dumb, introspective, emotionless, spoiled, passionate, immature, caring, vengeful, fashionable and geeky. There is no continuity to his character. It is like they made it up as they filmed each scene. Even the great actors can't seem to save this bomb. See more Matheus F Mar 24 Not a perfect movie, but Heder, Keaton, Faris and Daniels really did their best. See more Haven P Feb 16 I enjoyed the movie and it seems really good and I really recommend it to comedy lovers out there And it was able to keep my attention I’m surprised to see this movie. Didn’t get a good amount of reviews that it should really underrated movie. I would recommend it.
