Critic Reviews

Variety | Joe Leydon

Manages to distract auds from the predictability of the plot with fusillades of profanely funny dialogue and some playfully sexy chemistry generated by Cook and Hudson.

The Hollywood Reporter | Frank Scheck

Eventually the conventions of romantic comedy take hold, with the humor declining precipitously.

The actors (especially Alec Baldwin, as Tank's horndog dad) elevate the material slightly, but such piffle will just fill you with longing...for a better movie.

USA Today | Claudia Puig

The movie is raunchier than expected, and above all clichéd, formulaic and thoroughly sexist. Worst, it's just not very funny.
