Reception

Reviewer Michael Rankins noted the plot was "while not stupid, the movie does manage to be agonizingly predictable" and had many similarities to When Harry Met Sally..., as one reviewer explained, the two characters "decided to follow [the When Harry Met Sally] story line instead of coming up with their own". Charles Tatum of eFilmCritic.com gave it 2 out of 5, a was critical of the screenplay but praised Jovovich for her performance and her "are you fucking kidding me?" look in response to Krumholtz.
