Rated: 4/5 Feb 10, 2024 Full Review I.Q. | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Ryan and Robbins are miscast in that they both are kooky stars and the script calls for opposites that attract. The scheming is too heavy-handed to be really funny. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review I.Q. | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Betsy Bozdech Common Sense Media Breezy, quirky romcom is predictable but sweet.

Ace R I love this movie! Some people do not give this film a lot of stars. They do not understand the value in this film, because they do not have open minds, as Albert Einstein did. He once said: "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits". This is so true. I highly recommend that you see this movie.
