Critics Consensus

Aside from a few laughs, everything else is entirely predictable, including the jokes.

2/4

A mundane sitcom with feature pretensions, the kind where the comic 'situation' is simply a coat-rack for hanging a rag-tag assortment of inflated sight gags and telegraphed punch lines.

Spade serves as both star and co-writer of this lame, crass romantic comedy. Most of the jokes he's written fall flat, and his delivery isn't much better.

Nothing but a cynical, astonishingly inept attempt to copy Mary's formula.

A love story, but Spade is way too smug to appear the slightest bit sincere in his scenes with Marceau for it to work at all on that level.

David Spade was miscast as a romantic lead. Fun comedic actor, but in way over his head here.

I thought this was a Dana Carvey film! I guess that's why it wasn't funny. The only laugh was the ending, on the plane.

A stupid romcom that feels like it's nothing more than a mediocre sitcom episode. So much can be said about what's wrong with this, from the writing, casting, etc but the singing bit at the end was the one thing that worked for me. It almost felt like an Indian movie if it didn't sound like the actor couldn't sing. And Sophie Marceau is nice to just look at the whole time, so it wasn't all bad, lol.

David Spade is funny but based on this rom-com I think David Spade is much more suited for SNL sketches and other various comedic supporting roles. Him trying to write an actual screenplay laced with his jokes results in films like ‘Lost & Found'
