...breezy and manipulative...This piece of dating dreck is so sticky sweet and syrupy that one would think they screened Petrie’s film at the International House of Pancakes!
02/08/03
The movie is clever, up to a point, and then becomes strained in the manner of a lot of the romantic comedies of the '40s.
02/08/03
By any impartial system of judgment, it is at best a mediocre film, but within its genre, it’s better than some.
02/08/03
A cobbled-together clone of Sex and the City, minus most of the humor and poignance.
02/08/03
The film is based on a very small book of the same name that's illustrated with stick figures. Director Donald Petrie's film miraculously manages to be even less detailed.

Isn't as bad as it looks.

Top CriticResorts to the kinds of cliches that were so yesterday two weeks ago.
02/07/03
Too light on laughs and too heavy on predictable moments.
02/07/03
Though something less than a masterpiece of the genre, this good-natured skirmish in the war between men and women benefits from Hudson's thoroughly charming performance.
02/07/03
For once, here's a screen couple that easily adds up.
02/07/03
Top CriticVirtually everything in the movie is off-pitch.
02/07/03
Having nearly suffocated amid the swirling mist of estrogen fumes that enveloped a recent screening of the insipid chick flick How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I need an immediate infusion of guy stuff to detox.
02/07/03
So much of the picture misfires and/or simply doesn't work or make sense that the total package is not as good, enjoyable or entertaining as it should be.
02/07/03
This is a movie that never aspires to be anything more than dimwitted fun, then falls on its aspirations.
02/07/03
Top CriticIt's about as close to French farce as romantic comedies get, and the closer the better.
