It goes on to say that “amusing dialogues and critical swipes at American neuroses” alternated with “exaggerated comedy and inappropriate slapstick ”. On the occasion of the theatrical release in Germany, the TV Spielfilm judged that the "romantic comedy enriched with Chauvi clichés [...] was babbling tiredly to itself".
