What to Know

Critics Consensus

The script is cliched and badly written. The female characters aren't believable, and the movie is not funny.

Kwyn Bader's debut feature is run-of-the-mill sitcom-y in its pedestrian writing and uninspired direction. Go to Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post 01/01/2000

08/11/2015 unpleasing and slow-kind of a snoozer.just fair at best. See more 11/03/2013 Sweet movie with lots of cool. See more 01/30/2013 It was a cool movie. I love Hill Harper as an actor. I really liked this movie. You actually felt sorry for the character eventhough you knew that his actions were wrong. It like that way they incorporated the different races in order to show that love doesn't see color. See more 12/02/2011 so so rom-com no bette davis eyes:( See more 06/05/2011 Its a quaint and corny story that was a pleasure to watch. See more 03/26/2010 Sometimes entertaining, but is as a package a bit innocuous and lightweight, or, less nicely, its an oafish wish-fulfillment wankfest. See more Read all reviews
