Reviews

• Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on January 26, 1996 that the film adaptation of the maudlin story would fit into the 1930s. Kim's character is used so that Lisa can tell about her thoughts. Ebert speculated what would happen if the energetic Kim had got the flowers. The talents of the misplaced Mary Stuart Masterson and Christian Slater are wasted.
• Jack Mathews wrote in the Los Angeles Times on January 26, 1996 that films as cute as this should be kept as short as possible. Lewis Farrell's character seems too perfect.
• The editors of prisma-online.de wrote that the comedy was one of the most banal films of all time . The story is flat, some plot elements seem artificial.
