Ash Boomstick’s review published on Letterboxd:
Adam Sandler in something good? Yes I was amazed as well. This is his best work since 'Punch Drunk'. For those who have seen this film and the film I just mentioned, we all know that Sandler can act very well. I think he just needs direction and when he has it, he is a very likable believable character in any film. What I really loved about this film is the subtle approach to an overused theme. Yes it is romantic and it has it's own batch of clichés, but overall it is a real emotional masterpiece. All the characters are well developed throughout the story and Paz Vega is the most amazing feature in this film. She is the sort of actress that you are convinced that you have seen before, but I have not. She is excellent in this film and steals every scene from every actor. it is also directed by James L Brooks and this really shows the maturity of his writing and direction.
