The best jokes are on the models and the men who pursue them, and Shalom Harlow, Ivana Milicevic, Sarah O'Hare, and Tomiko Fraser -- the real models who play Potter's roommates --are very good sports.

Reviews for Head Over Heels
Top CriticHead Over Heels may bear some superficial resemblance to a movie, but don't be fooled -- it's really just a marketing strategy, a loose assemblage of components each pitched to a particular demographic.

Top CriticKerplunkingly unfunny and -- despite Potter's Julia Roberts-ish smile and ditz shtick -- charmless.

Top CriticAll that's lacking is anything remotely resembling wit or style.

Top CriticThe film's strenuous play for laughs tends to overshadow its assets.
02/02/01
Top CriticJust another bland, fair-to-middling vehicle for two emerging, fledgling stars.
02/02/01
Top CriticWith each rewrite, it seems, things grew fouler, duller and more idiotic.
02/02/01
Top CriticIt feels like a movie some other actress rejected -- you can almost see Sandra Bullock using the screenplay manuscript as a coffee coaster.
02/02/01
Top CriticLight stuff, the cinematic equivalent of the airy wax paper that separates cold cuts on a delicatessen scale.
02/02/01
Top CriticThe frosting is laid on with a forklift in Head Over Heels, an appropriately generic title for generic teen entertainment.
02/02/01
Top CriticHead Over Heels, like Mr. Prinze's other movies, exists in a realm beyond sense, and it induces in the viewer a trancelike state, leaving the mind free to ponder the mysteries of the universe.
02/02/01
Top CriticMight charitably be called Rear Window for morons.
02/02/01
Top CriticProves itself far sillier in far more ways than one film should attempt on its own.
02/02/01
Top CriticNot only militantly vapid but also disgusting and mean-spirited.
02/02/01
Top CriticIt's as if the production was a fight to the death between bright people with a sense of humor, and cretins who think the audience is as stupid as they are.
02/02/01
Top CriticA lame romantic comedy that is neither romantic nor comedic.
02/02/01
Top CriticThe screwball comedy in general misses as often as it hits.
02/01/01
Top CriticIt lacks that light touch that can make all the difference.
