By-the-book romantic comedy with great scenery, cute story, and engaging characters.

Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com
Surprising little romantic comedy that shows Garofalo could be a very charming movie actress if she wanted

Judith Egerton, Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)

Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

A comedy of minimal charm

James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
