Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023
0/4
A desperately flailing sex-romance comedy that has not one even remotely sincere or funny moment. It has nothing to say, but says it for an hour and a half. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety Aug 3, 2009
Despite valiant efforts by a game Kevin Pollak to liven up this tired romantic comedy, only the patient should appreciate the gross humor and sophomoric plot. Go to Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times Aug 30, 2004
1.5/5
When a battle-of-the-sexes comedy has one combatant complaining that the other never caps the toothpaste tube, there's bound to be a shortage of new thinking. Go to Full Review Jackie Potts Miami Herald Aug 17, 2021
1/4
Although Gross (Hexed) and Cox (Mr. Destiny) both seem earnest and personable, the script doesn't allow them to plumb any real emotions. Instead they're a couple of walking, talking singles clichés. Go to Full Review TV Guide Aug 3, 2009
2.5/4
This romantic comedy covers familiar ground in an entertaining fashion, helped by an enjoyable cast. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Jun 25, 2005

Dec 13, 2013 This awful film is loaded with characters so haplessly stupid and boring, that you wonder if it was 8-year old children who wrote this film. I am convinced- it had to be. This is one of the worst romantic comedies ever made- a atrociously written, shockingly idiotic waste of time. See more Dec 22, 2011 A little bit funny ... Nothing Special See more Jul 22, 2011 Actually pretty cute, with a Pre-"Friends" & "Cougar Town" Cortney Cox in a Sex & the City~esque role. How is it that Courtney actually looks better today than she did in 1993? See more Jun 9, 2011 This is more of a cult classic relationship movie. Definitely worth seeing. Excellent movie for both men and women, not entirely a chic flic as it has "his" point of view. Kevin Pollack has a ton of funny one liners. See more Apr 1, 2011 While not the best movie on this often-played battle of the sexes genre, I enjoyed it See more Feb 14, 2011 Very funny. It is not the most original film in the world but enough to spent a saturday evening. Love young Courtney Cox!! Yes, very funny, but impossible to buy in DVD. I found a VHS in Amazon but it is NSTC and I live in Europe. See more Read all reviews
