Critics Consensus

Flat and unfocused, A Smile Like Yours aims for romantic comedy but settles for tired sitcom formula.

1/4

It's the cinematic equivalent of having a saccharine-coated tongue depressor jammed down your throat.

2/4

Keith Sample's film aspires to the innocent charm of a newlywed comedy like Barefoot in the Park, but gets bogged down in witless sex jokes.

After a while, I could smell the jokes coming like Grandma's two-day-old stuffed cabbage.

The adorable Kinnear is not doing himself any favors with overblown sit-coms like this.

A Smile Like Yours makes no one smile or cry, just wince. The script is unwieldy, and Kinnear and Holly stuggle in every frame to make characters likable.

This Movie drags on like a slow trip waiting to see The Doctor.. it's a Complete Snooze-Fest! Lame not funny and the characters make you hate them from the get go. You will fall asleep watching this movie I Guarantee It! Lauren Holly can't act her way out of a Paper bag. I have no clue why they cast her in this movie. I'm thinking Jim Carrey had something to do with it since he was a household name when this was made and the only Excellent acting in this stale sad and painfully pathetic movie is The Completely Fascinating "Joan Cusack" she is a Marvelous Actress and I absolutely adore her Voice. Sadly Ms. Cusack can not save this Sleeper Milk Dud of a Movie and Believe me Milk Duds have More Flavor!!!

The overall movie itself is utterly boring, and hardly funny at all (save the restaraunt scene and the airline flight). The plot offers nothing that is really attention-grabbing. Even if the story was entirely about two people trying to conceive, the writers could've figured out several hilarious mishaps to develop out of that. Second, the main characters are completely boring. They are complete silouhettes of dumb 1950s comedies with happy wife and clueless husband. So, even without mishaps present in the plot, the characters themselves offer nothing interesting, let alone funny.

Not sure why the reviews are so low. This is a sweet (typical amount of predictability) movie revolving around a couple suffering from infertility. Not a lot of substance to it would be my only solid complaint.
