United States | Chicago Reader | "Heathers" may view teenagers more caustically, but this movie, incomparably better, actually delivers the goods" | POS |
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." | POS |
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" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "It's hard to remember a recent love story -- maybe "Moonstruck" -- that's as involving as this one" | POS |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "[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." | POS |
United States | Variety | "A half-baked love story, full of good intentions but uneven in the telling." | NEU |
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" | POS |
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" | POS |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "Its characters linger in your mind, and the quality of its actors lift the movie into another league." | POS |
