Critics Consensus

The script is cliched and badly written. The female characters aren't believable, and the movie is not funny.

Kwyn Bader's debut feature is run-of-the-mill sitcom-y in its pedestrian writing and uninspired direction.

A lighthearted and frothy romantic comedy; a fun and amusing diversion, but little more.

It was a cool movie. I love Hill Harper as an actor. I really liked this movie. You actually felt sorry for the character eventhough you knew that his actions were wrong. It like that way they incorporated the different races in order to show that love doesn't see color.

Sometimes entertaining, but is as a package a bit innocuous and lightweight, or, less nicely, its an oafish wish-fulfillment wankfest.
