Metacritic reviews

Despite a continuity problem or two, this is one of those rare contemporary romantic comedies that actually work.

As an actress, Lopez is a bit stiff, as she has been in all of her movies save "Out of Sight." It really doesn't matter much here, given the sparks between her and Fiennes and the fact that the role is pretty much form-fitted to her public persona.

It's a warm, if pallid, romantic comedy that may not do much more to burnish Lopez's reputation, but will certainly not bruise it.

This is by the books in every way, funny and undemanding ... and also rather sweet and heartwarming.

Blandly charming.

A pleasant experience, if not the dazzling entertainment Lopez fans were hoping for.

This fairy-tale shtick, even when dressed up with a little class-war garnish, is hard to swallow.

Everything about it, except the valiantly lifelike Lopez, feels stiff and robotic and mindlessly crowd-pleasing, as if it were a comedy made by a committee instead of a human being.

It's a case of persona overwhelming presence, and the butterscotch smoothness that was such an asset opposite George Clooney's glittering cool in "Out of Sight" is all but lost in the sheen of this high-gloss production.

This isn't just typical, unchallenging Hollywood drek -- it's typical, unchallenging Hollywood drek made by people who don't care, for people who don't care.
