Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews, the film was neither romantic nor managed as a comedy. The film can not make it to arouse the interest of the viewer to the main characters and make the relationship believable.

Roger Ebert described the characters in the Chicago Sun - Times (10 March 2006 ) as ' stupid ' ( ' stupid '). He wrote a dolphin would McConaughey and Parker steal the show. He also criticized the cut of the film.

The lexicon of international film could discover no sense and no special appeal to this film. Literally, the critic there, Who is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a Nightingale and human giggling rodents for a punch line, which should not be surprised if he is accused, his audience for fools.
