Stanley Kauffmann

. . . . The director, Garry Marshall, who did Pretty Woman and thus has experience in freshening up the trite, does fairly well. His best work is not with the camera but with Michelle Pfeiffer as Frankie. Pfeiffer's part has a small range, full of vernacular emotion, and Marshall, as he did with Julia Roberts in the earlier film, helps Pfeiffer to inflect it in everyday terms.

But the film is doomed because of the casting of Johnny. . . .
