Ben Walters Time Out Rated: 4/5 Apr 19, 2012 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Rated: 4/5 Apr 19, 2012 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rated: 5/5 Feb 9, 2012 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Little to no surprises outside of the pronounced sexual vibe of the film. It's mild entertainment for older viewers, a perfect fit for the pap programming of Lifetime, not the alleged wholesomeness of ABC Family. Rated: D+ Feb 15, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

michael t This was better than I expected from the set up; sort of a poor man's Legally Blonde. The script was not great, but it worked OK. Hilary Duff had enough sex appeal and stage presence to carry it off. At certain points it was comically cheesy, not by intent. The weak point was the lack of chemistry in the romantic encounters, otherwise your standard rom-com. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Handsome men in suits, beautiful makeup and fashion, cute story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/18 Full Review Audience Member i couldn't even finish watching. the whole thing is super cringy - the story and the acting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie seemed shockingly sexist and disappointingly shallow for a 2010 film. Performances were thin, with the best coming from the role of Liam, Lane's attractive side story of a boyfriend. Without enough interest, quirk or comedy to fill the spaces in a sub-par plot, the audience is neither hooked not invested. It feels like this movie wanted to fill a void where there used to be Sex in the City, but flops magnificently. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow!! I absolutely like Hilary Duff's fashion in this movie. It was very cool and businesslike. :D Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally rom com TV show worthy but forgettable as I forgot I seen it until I realized I knew how it ended...
