	Author	Review
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"It's dogged by awkward dialogue, a ridiculous plot and lackluster performances, especially by the leads (...) The movie's saving grace is Neil Patrick Harris (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"This is the kind of cornball entertainment that rainy afternoons were made for"	POS
United States	Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel	"Witty, warm, well-cast and often wickedly funny (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"An intolerably sappy "Beauty and the Beast" for the Clearasil set"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Not even campy performances from Mary-Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris can save this ugly snarl of cliches"	NEG
