Reviews
David Nusair wrote in Reel Movie reviews, the film was " incredibly weak" and "quite disappointing." The illustrations by Luke Wilson and Denise Richards were charming. Some Substränge the action would lead nowhere. The film is not quite boring, but he acts like a second-rate sitcom ( "while it's never boring exactly, The Third Wheel Often feels more like a second- rate sitcom than to actual movie" ).
The lexicon of international film wrote that the film was a " well -tempered yuppie romantic comedy, produced by the successful duo Damon / Affleck, the more or less short cameo appearances " absolve. He offers " harmless - obligation conversation with playful young actors ," as though " some lengths and improbabilities " on.
