Critics Consensus: Although the film isn't as bad as feared (it wasn't pre-screened for reviews), it's not that good, either. Most noticable flaws are the sappy romantic cliches and lack of chemistry between Gere and Ryder.

Utterly banal, Joan Chen's tediously sappy romance is a kind of modern-day Love Story (a better film!) with a "twist": Richard Gere's suave lover is old enough to be Winona Ryder's father.
All style and no substance.
The picture is a veritable bouquet of ardent cliches and witless sentiments.
A perfectly respectable weeper.
A diaphanous daydream of clichés, predictable developments, strained romance, and frequently embarrassing dialogue.
The movie's biggest fatality is the lack of chemistry between the two stars. Even in their most amorous moments, they seem like a randy uncle and his sad-eyed niece.
You can't help but be aware of the structural flaw in this tale of redemption.
...the feel of an old-school weeper...
A banal and sappy romantic melodrama
To sit through this is to suffer the grossest sweaty-palms-on-the-glass sex scene. Funny that the film closes with an overbearing end-credits song by Jennifer Paige - a one-hit wonder who, like "Autumn," is a pop-culture footnote best left forgotten.
Tax forms have more emotional content.
Weak and unmemorable.
I've seen a few movies like this. Womanizing guy falls in love with beautiful woman only to find out she has terminal something-or-other, and he matures caring for her. Seen it, done it.
Super Reviewer
Pretty ordinary. I really didn't like Richard Gere's character in this at all, and when the inevitable happened at the end, I really didn't feel too sad about it either. Winona is okay, but overall it failed to move me.
This movie sucked but I got to look at Winona Ryder for a couple hours. So I don't care.
Good love story.
