---|---|---|---|
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A tasteful melodrama courtesy of the easy chemistry between its two leads" | POS |
United States | USA Today | "Though the stars are likable and attractive, the movie is a melodramatic and soppy affair. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)" | NEG |
United States | New York Post | "An inert romantic drama (...) Lane and Gere have considerable chemistry (...) Aims straight for the tear ducts as well, but this weepie is a dry well. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" | NEG |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The movie attempts to jerk tears with one clunky device after another, in a plot that is a perfect storm of cliche and contrivance. In fact, it even contains a storm -- an imperfect one. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)" | NEG |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "May not be best chick flick around, but it's the flick with the best chick by far." | NEU |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Lane and Gere mime adult courtship with the efficiency of synchronized swimmers. Yet in this ocean of emotion, they look like they're drowning." | NEG |
United States | The Wrap | "It's an increasingly rare pleasure to see two naturally aging adults onscreen, and it's not exactly hard work to watch this still-gorgeous pair fall in love" | POS |
United States | AV Club | "This isn't a movie: it's a feature-length Ralph Lauren commercial" | NEG |
