Reviews
Desson Howe wrote in the Washington Post on February 2, 2001, Monica Potter and Freddie Prinze Jr. can be liked in their roles. However, the film is "just a mediocre vehicle for two budding stars" ("just another bland, fair-to-middling vehicle for two emerging, fledgling stars").
The lexicon of international films wrote that comedy confused speed and hectic as well as humor and bad taste. She lends awkwardly to Hollywood screwball comedies and Alfred Hitchcock . The main actors lack the charm. The comedy is a boring, talentless "assembly line production".
The German Film and Media Evaluation FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the title valuable.
background
