You'll be more seduced by the Manhattan setting than by the movie, but Will Smith in love is hard to resist. He stars as a "date doctor," who can whip any man into shape romantically. (Long-term relationships only; no "hits and quits" please.) Ironically, he can't follow his own advice when it comes to his romance with hot gossip columnist Eva Mendes. Like a blind date, bits of the movie are charming, but much of it is awkward, thanks to a script that strains credulity. Still, Smith is as charming as ever, and Kevin James scores points as a hapless, possibly hopeless client. Read the full Review

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C+

Palm Beach Post - Flick Chick
"It would have been nice if the filmmakers had at least come up with some real, original conflict. "
