Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter May 7, 2003
A would-be magical romantic comedy whose execution doesn't live up to the cleverness of its central conceit. Go to Full Review Jan Stuart Newsday Apr 25, 2003
1.5/4
High shtick content: Enter these waters at your own risk. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times Apr 25, 2003
1/5
Returning Mickey Stern is a sweet, well-intended picture, but like its title character, it is not quite good enough for the big leagues. Go to Full Review Edward Havens FilmJerk.com May 15, 2003

Those who are looking for something a little old-fashioned will be greatly rewarded. Go to Full Review Brent Simon Entertainment Today Apr 28, 2003

Aptly billed as 'a new old movie' ...proof that sentiment and saccharine need not necessarily go hand in hand. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Apr 26, 2003

Apr 21, 2010 Nice in a way, but it just didn't work for me. This fantasy romantic drama's basic plot sounds good but ended up not that interesting. It has the look of a made for television film. Nice to see Connie Stevens again though. See more Jan 11, 2010 Far from being charming, there's something grotesque about a desperate older man playing matchmaker to a pair of young would-be lovers, then peering at them from behind bushes and pumping each for the intimate details of their trysts.
