Reviews

Michael Dequina described the film in 'The Movie Report Archive' as 'routine', but also admitted that he had seen worse films in the cinemas. He praised the portrayal of Drew Barrymore.

Elspeth Haughton wrote in 'Apollo Guide Review' that the script was poor ('legless') and the pace slow. The film is tailored to Drew Barrymore as a star.

The lexicon of international films says: "Solid actors struggle in vain on a lame, contourless romantic comedy that only offers poor inside jokes."
