Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "The sort of wrinkle-in-time romance that'll have you pulling out your handkerchief -- or pulling out your hair." more... C+ Boston Globe Ty Burr "It's called romantic melodrama, children, and it's nothing to be ashamed of." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "What I respond to in the movie is its fundamental romantic impulse." more... A- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "...it's hard to buy into a couple who believe in the fantastical events so readily." more... C   E! Online "Bullock and Reeves have appealing chemistry and some nice tearjerker moments, but audiences should speed by this House on their way elsewhere." more... C   Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "...chemistry-challenged..." more... C- filmcritic.com David Thomas "...the type of film that could make a fantastic half hour episode of The Twilight Zone..." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden "A time-lapse love story that never jells." more... D   New York Post Lou Lumenick "... a glacially paced, extremely moist, terminally gloomy and cliché-laden romantic drama..." more... C- New York Times A. O. Scott ""...deeply silly, effortlessly entertaining..." more... B   ReelViews James Berardinelli "Despite the conventional ending, which has a tacky, tacked-on feel, the movie is designed for those who are more adventurous when it comes to romance." more... B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "I can't believe that even the most rabid chick-flick masochists wouldn't gag on it." more... D   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "The measure of this kind of movie is its seductiveness, not its logic..." more... B   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...works as a romance, and it seems particularly original and relevant..." more... B   USA Today Claudia Puig "The premise makes no sense, no matter how you turn it around in your head." more... C- * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
