Reception

[edit]

Reviewer Michael Rankins noted the plot was "while not stupid, the movie does manage to be agonizingly predictable"[2] and had many similarities to When Harry Met Sally..., as one reviewer explained, the two characters "decided to follow [the When Harry Met Sally] story line instead of coming up with their own".[3] Charles Tatum of eFilmCritic.com gave it 2 out of 5, a was critical of the screenplay but praised Jovovich for her performance and her "are you fucking kidding me?" look in response to Krumholtz.[4]
