	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The movie is 95 minutes long, and neither character says a single memorable thing (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Here's a pleasant little romantic comedy that doesn't try too hard and has the virtue of doing a few things differently. Not that it breaks new ground, but there is a little more substance to the story than boy-meets-girl"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Cole directs, and does an honest job - but with a script as yucky as this, there's nothing much he or anyone can do."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Even if you profess a deep like for Amanda Peet (I do) and Ashton Kutcher (the jury’s still out), seven years of them is a bit much."	NEU
United Kingdom	Stella Papamichael BBC	"Nigel Cole offers an engaging romance infused with the warmth and optimism of his previous films"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Kutcher and Peet are a low-wattage pair, with little of the verbal riffing that counts as seduction in most romantic comedies, but they have real chemistry together"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A pleasant reminder of a Hollywood time, seemingly long gone, when boy met girl in a midlevel romantic comedy without arty aspirations"	POS
United States	Allison Benedikt Chicago Tribune	"A poor man's 'When Harry Met' Sally."	NEG
