Reviews

The reviews were slightly negative. At Rotten Tomatoes , the film received approval from 53 percent of the critics (and is therefore considered rotten , i.e. spoiled. A film is considered fresh from 60 percent .). The critics gave an average of 5.5 out of 10 points.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Times, who gave the film 2 out of 4 points, judged that the film's fault was that he took the book too seriously.

The lexicon of international films said: “Superficial romantic comedy that consciously works with stereotypes without giving them depth or profile. The gender roles outlined in cliché are never critically questioned, but confirmed. The individual episodes ripple in this way without puns or barbs. "

The opinion of German film critics is reflected, for example, in Asokan Nirmalarajah's verdict on MovieMaze. The film has sympathetic, well-acted protagonists, but the lack of humor and insight into the subject matter is rather disappointing. His suggestion: "The best thing to do is to appreciate the film as an unobtrusive and inexperienced hangout film about the never-ending war between the sexes."
