Critic Reviews

That rare romantic comedy that dares to choose messiness over closure, prickly independence over fetishized coupledom, and honesty over typical Hollywood endings.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

Hilarious, touching and wonderfully dyspeptic.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

It's irresistible, damn it. Mainstream comedies should all be this funny and tender and deftly performed.Full Review

David Edelstein
Slate

Better than a feelgood movie, it's a feelgreat movie -- genuinely clever, affecting when you least expect it to be and funny from start to finish.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

We have all the action heroes and Method script-chewers we need right now, but the Cary Grant department is understaffed, and Hugh Grant shows here that he is more than a star, he is a resource.Full Review
