But right before her wedding, she learns she's already married to Patrick (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a charming but irresponsible fireman.

Amy Nicholson

I.E. Weekly

There's little fun in being asked to identify with yet another female character who spends her running time being shamed like a dog who soiled the rug.

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

Words almost fail me after watching this terrible romantic comedy from Griffin Dunne which is perilously described as a "sort of Carole Lombard screwball comedy". Would that it were.

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

A plot of insufferable silliness contrives to keep the lovers on tenterhooks and the audience in a permanent cringe, none of it helped by Thurman's thoroughly phony performance.

Reel Film Reviews

...a predominantly watchable romcom that benefits from its brisk running time and plethora of affable performances...

Rated: 2.5/4

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

It lives on as an artifact of a big screen career that might have been, or might have been extended, a director who talks a better game than he directs and a distributing studio/vanity project that never was and never have been.

Rated: 1.5/4

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Munkhjargal A she would have tricked him into falling in love with another guy, but on the contrary, he had fallen in love with her. This movie is an interesting movie with heart Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Dinos K all those stupid rom-coms. I'm so sick of it. They don't have nothing new to add Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Peter C No doubt an overall bad movie, formulaic, and wallowing in stereotypes, but there are probably worse ways to waste some time… I thought they tried hard to pull off making this into something watchable. But really, it was DOA starting with the script. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
