September 24, 2009Oh my God, the worst cinema experience in my life. Was dragged, with a mate, by my ex to see this and it was long and so very, very painful.

September 16, 2007Does a marriage of convenience work? A marriage with no sex? I preferred Jeff Bridges' acting over Barbra Streisand's.

May 28, 2012fb20312798I don't think a single moment of this movie made any sense. Its also poorly edited and just about everyone (including even Jeff Bridges) is unconvincing in their perspective roles.

October 3, 2010A solid romantic comedy that gets a lttle eh in the middle but is pretty charming and actually has a really strong cast as well as a clever script.

December 9, 2009The only Streisand movie worth watching. Pairing her with Jeff Bridges made for some great movie - nothing like a little action for the stuffy college professors.

July 6, 2008I really don't know what to make of this film.
On one hand, I really like it, as it is kind of cute. I find myself smiling through parts of it. But at the same time, I really do not like the message it sends, that women who aren't beautiful are worthless. Here Barbara's charac... read more

Downer story does match its book source, for the most part. Great cast.

I didn't wanna like it. But by movie's end, I didn't hate it. Points for that.

A uniquely awful vanity piece.
