Fans may get a kick out of seeing Usher showcasing his charm on screen, but the movie itself is tone deaf and inconsequential, even by rom-com standards.

The failure is with a script as ungainly as it is and an oversimplified conception of American-Italian and black cultures. Dec 2, 2005 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Played mostly as a drama but utterly devoid of tension, the film mainly comes across as recycled. Nov 29, 2005

[A] one-dimensional romantic comedy that ... feels like an old-fashioned vehicle picture, the kind the big movie studios used to make in the 1930's and 40's just to bring in the fans of a particular actor or actress. Nov 28, 2005 | Rating: 2/5

It's clearly conceived solely as a star vehicle for the ubiquitous Usher and his washboard abs, with plot coherence and originality coming in somewhere lower in the pecking order. Feb 21, 2006
