Critical response


Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader, called the film "A friendly demonstration of how two actors with charisma and a relaxed writer-director (Brad Silberling) can make a nice movie for practically nothing."[7] In contrast, Desson Thomson of The Washington Postwrote the film is "a good-natured but failed experiment in meeting cute -- indie-movie style".[8][9] Robert Koehler of Variety wrote: " Interplay between a jaunty Freeman as an unemployed movie star and the magnetic Paz Vega as a no-nonsense grocery store checker gives pic humanity and lift."[4]

Critical reaction to the film was mixed, with general praise for the work of the two main actors. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film had a 63% approval rating based on 60 reviews, with an average rating of 6.2/10. The critics consensus reads: "A small film that relies too heavily on the charm of big actors."[10] On Metacritic it has a score of 54% based on reviews from 20 critics.[11]
