The film's light tone and Amy Irving's likable performance compensate up to a point for Joan Micklin Silver's technical deficiencies.

Sweet rom-com based on a play (which usually makes - as it does here - for a good script) about two Jewish New Yorkers being set up by the local match-maker. Starring Amy Irving, 12 years on from Carrie, and Peter Riegert in his appealing Local Hero era, this was the favourite film of an ex-boyfriend... awwww...
