Geoff Pevere Toronto Star 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 Dec 14, 2007 Full Review Rick Groen 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 Dec 14, 2007 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Haphazardly conceived and clumsily executed, this aggressively quirky yet gratingly unfunny comedy appears set on the fast track to vidstore bins. Dec 3, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...there's certainly no understating the ineffectiveness of Heder's relentlessly (and irritatingly) over-the-top performance... Rated: 1.5/4 May 21, 2009 Full Review Louise Keller Urban Cinefile 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 Aug 9, 2008 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com The film is as grating as the people who inhabit it. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 2, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Nicolas P 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Haven P 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Hatsune M I haven't seen this movie I just want to feel included Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Satin B Poop to give it that amount of merit 💩⚠️ Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Unfunny and unromantic, no LOLings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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???
