Critics Consensus: Despite Penelope Cruz's beauty and charm, the movie is too tepid to be a romance and too silly to be believable. And the movie is too eager to please with an ending that seems more like a cop out.

Common Sense Says

Penelope Cruz and little else in this so-so comedy

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has lots of transvestitism, which is never explained. A few fiery expletives spoken jokingly, not in anger. A self-involved husband has at least one affair, then pursues his wife aggressively after she leaves him. Moderate but consistent salty dialogue and situations, including penile length references and an undulating, semi-clad cross-dresser; a glimpse of breasts. Some mild bar fighting in defense of a woman's honor.
