Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Modine does what he can to sell the flimsy premise, but he's so hamstrung by Eddie O'Flaherty and J.P. Davis' sketchy script -- not to mention by O'Flaherty's clumsy direction -- that it's a losing battle. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 8, 2008 Full Review Sam Sweet L.A. Weekly Laroque has starred in dozens of these featherweight comedies in France, but this material forces her to new grades of mildness. Even during shouting matches with Modine, her emotional pitch rarely exceeds a middling 25 MPH. Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Looks like a tv movie and not all that exciting, but harmless enough viewing and it made a refreshing change to see a slightly older leading lady. Cast are fine and the premise works reasonably well. Though the woman is not written initially to be likable, she is never so awful that you totally hate her. This is a romantic comedy with a few small laughs. Pretty tame stuff but a slightly older female audience may enjoy this one. I am going to pass my copy to my mum! After the offensive mess that was Grown Ups, this may be just the thing! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member worst movie ive seen in a while. it says its about a girl who moves in the neighborhood, but it never shows her house or her moving. its just shows her walking around into random peoples house and torturing them. it has no real plot and worst of all, it has no story line to it. it jumps all over the movie and you cant tell where you are. don't watch it!!!!!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As RomComs go this is an enjoyable story and includes a nice male lead by Matthew Modine, however the female lead by Michèle Laroque was poorly cast I thought and left the movie a little flat. Over-all however it's a fair little movie, though reminds me of something more "made for tv" than the big screen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't say I'm impressed with the casting. Actors did not made their best performances even the story had potential. I usually like romantic movies but I have to say that this was not that good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Chick Flick. Predictable ending Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie. I love Matthew Modine :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
