United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"There won't be a person in the audience who can't guess exactly how it will turn out. Yet it goes through its paces with such skill and charm that, yes, I enjoyed it. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS

United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"[It is] little more than a bedtime story for 12-year-old girls."	NEG
United Kingdom	Anna Smith Empire	"The rags-to-riches plot should keep hopeless romantics happy, but you just can't help wondering what Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock and a team of decent joke writers might have achieved with this one (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"[It] is played at a sober, adult tone that generally resists farcical excess"	NEU
