Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Reader
"Heathers" may view teenagers more caustically, but this movie, incomparably better, actually delivers the goods"
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"That such intelligence could be contained in movie that is simultaneously so funny and so entertaining is some kind of a miracle."
United States
Los Angeles Times
"A film of warmth, insight, humor and surprising originality… [It] isn't perfect, but when it's good, which is every moment John Cusack is on screen, it's a living joy"
United States
The Washington Post
"It's hard to remember a recent love story -- maybe "Moonstruck" -- that's as involving as this one" 
United States
"[Crowe] knows how to shape a scene and he's never cheap with characterization; adults are permitted to be as complex as their children; a rare event in pictures."
United States
Variety
"A half-baked love story, full of good intentions but uneven in the telling."
United States
Chicago Tribune
"Complex, knotty and at times even uncomfortable; its world has a weight and heft that makes its ultimate romanticism seem genuinely transcendant, genuinely magical"
United Kingdom
Empire
"Crowe has constructed an intelligent, witty yet undeniably cute tale, showing the potential that would be realised in Singles and Jerry Maguire"
United States
San Francisco Chronicle
"Its characters linger in your mind, and the quality of its actors lift the movie into another league."
