Top CriticThe cinematic equivalent of Styrofoam: a weightless romantic comedy of synthetic feelings.

Top CriticA most pleasant and diverting venture.

Top CriticA movie that obviously aspires to screwball status while trampling on the irrepressible female freedom that defines the genre.

Top CriticAffleck is as appealing as usual. Bullock, following a series of ill-advised career choices, is back in top form.

Top CriticThe film shows off Ms. Bullock to amusing if overly frenetic advantage. It also leaves Mr. Affleck without enough of a Cary Grant aura to play his wimpier character with style.

Top Critic[Affleck is] too sturdy and sated. And you can't have screwball comedy if only one party desperately wants to screw.

Top CriticAt the center of every swirling storm is a place of placid inertia, safe and still -- and not very exciting. And it's where Affleck and Bullock spend most of their time, floating amiably but never doing enough to truly connect.

Top CriticA so-so, OK, perfectably acceptable, nice, rather charming romantic comedy with two stars who are entirely watchable. In 1999, that adds up to a sort-of, kind-of middling experience at the movies.

Top CriticI kept waiting for the plot to kick in. And waited and waited and waited.

Top CriticA romantic shaggy dog story, a movie that leads us down the garden path of romance, only to abandon us by the compost heap of uplifting endings. And it's not even clever enough to give us the right happy ending.
