Reviews for Serving Sara
Top Critic
Romantic comedy ought to have some romance and laughs, but this extraordinarily flat effort has neither.

Top Critic
Filled with artificial sweetener, and ultimately not satisfying enough.
09/30/05
Any effort anyone puts forth is obviously for naught when the movie's supposedly showstopping set piece has Perry stick his arm up a bull's anus to tickle his prostate.
01/07/05
If he so chooses, David Schwimmer could make a movie co-starring Gallagher and Yakov Smirnoff. It would have to be better.
06/27/03
One clever concept, several witty comedians, and many commonplace scenarios means Serving Sara will be served more at Blockbuster than at the multiplexes.
05/20/03
...Designed to appeal to moviegoers whose goal is to sit in an air-conditioned theater for 1½ hours with their brains on 'pause.'
02/08/03
Here's a stretch: Elizabeth Hurley is a sexy English girl and Matthew Perry is Chandler in this senseless, surprisingly unfunny comedy.
01/13/03
There's still something vaguely enjoyable about the film, as there has been with most of Matthew Perry's movies.
10/02/02
[Cedric the Entertainer] gives what just might be the worst performance of the year (and no, I'm not forgetting A Walk to Remember's Mandy Moore).
09/24/02
Lame, limp, unappealing, incompetent, clueless -- these are the kindest words I can come up with to describe this film.
09/18/02
"Serving Sara" is a fish fart of a movie, an indistinguishable little bubble of toxic waste that ascends from an ocean of indifference until it reaches the surface and dissipates into nothingness.
09/15/02
Neither Perry nor Hurley displays a gift for romantic nonsense, and it's difficult to detect any real or faked sexual chemistry between the two stars.
09/14/02
It's not pretty watching this likable cast floundering in search of something funny to do.
09/03/02
'...One drawn-out, painful chase, with a few slugs, love smacks and prostate jokes.'
09/03/02
Serving Sara is so close to "fun little diversion" that it makes the parts that don?t work hurt more than they really should.
