This awful film is loaded with characters so haplessly stupid and boring, that you wonder if it was 8-year old children who wrote this film. I am convinced- it had to be. This is one of the worst romantic comedies ever made- a atrociously written, shockingly idiotic waste of time.

Actually pretty cute, with a Pre-"Friends" & "Cougar Town" Cortney Cox in a Sex & the City~esque role. How is it that Courtney actually looks better today than she did in 1993?

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This is more of a cult classic relationship movie. Definitely worth seeing. Excellent movie for both men and women, not entirely a chic flic as it has "his" point of view. Kevin Pollack has a ton of funny one liners.

While not the best movie on this often-played battle of the sexes genre, I enjoyed it

Very funny. It is not the most original film in the world but enough to spent a saturday evening. Love young Courtney Cox!! Yes, very funny, but impossible to buy in DVD. I found a VHS in Amazon but it is NSTC and I live in Europe.

San Francisco Chronicle

A desperately flailing sex-romance comedy that has not one even remotely sincere or funny moment. It has nothing to say, but says it for an hour and a half.

Miami Herald

Although Gross (Hexed) and Cox (Mr. Destiny) both seem earnest and personable, the script doesn't allow them to plumb any real emotions. Instead they're a couple of walking, talking singles clichés.

Rated: 1/4

Despite valiant efforts by a game Kevin Pollak to liven up this tired romantic comedy, only the patient should appreciate the gross humor and sophomoric plot.
