Assez bien dans l'ensemble, mais la fascinante prémise n'est jamais vraiment exploité à sa hauteur.

Reno Gazette-Journal
One of the most thoughtful films of 2004.

Cinema em Cena
Pena que a dupla de roteiristas não pôde realizar façanha semelhante à do herói e voltar no tempo a fim de rever suas decisões: o último ato do filme merecia uma nova chance.

Consistently thoughtful and occasionally surprising--which, in the traditional January movie wasteland, is no small feat.

Kutcher is perfectly serviceable in his first dramatic role after stints on TV's That '70s Show and in one-note laffers Dude, Where's My Car? and My Boss's Daughter.
