"Liv Tyler is a very particular talent who has sometimes been misused by directors more in love with her beauty than with her appropriateness for their story. Here she is perfectly cast." | ||
|
|
|
"Its dramatic situations ring consistently false, and the story is phony as anything off the Hollywood assembly line. And yet, it's sincere phony." | ||
|
|
|
"A warm, funny, earnest movie" | ||
|
|
|
"A lackluster melodrama with only a few inspired moments" | ||
|
|
|
"Smith stumbles setting up dramatic confrontations and strains credibility a time or two with implausible moments." | ||
|
|
|
"A bland slab of sentimental hokum that proves even the most smart-alecky of indie auteurs can turn warm and fuzzy on occasion." | ||
|
|
|
"Affleck is modest and engaging, which keeps the movie out of "Gigli" territory. But it's close" | ||
|
|
|
"Combines absurd male fantasy and grating chick-flick cliche." | ||
 |
|
"The 'grown-up' Kevin Smith exhibits greater ambition, but he's not quite so much fun." | ||
|
|
|
"This kind of weepy material works in the hands of melodrama masters like Douglas Sirk or Pedro Almodovar. But here, it's over-the-top and it's just horrible." | ||
|
|
|
"Its heart is in the right place. Unfortunately, that heart is about the only element here that doesn't strain credibility." | ||
|
|
|
"Kevin Smith has made a movie so false and blatantly icky that it's the film equivalent of making goo-goo noises and chucking a baby under the chin for 103 minutes." |
