Director Peyton Reed keeps this fizzy comedy in an alluringly goofy tizzy from start to finish. This is undoubtedly the skillful battle-of-the-sexes laugher Rock Hudson and Doris Day would have made were they able to naughtily quip about bitches and hose.

We want to love it, but like a Rock Hudson rake, we keep finding fault in its allure. We want to hate it, but like Doris Day, we finally can't say no.

Takes a creative concept and never knows how to handle it with a less than top-notch script and terrible delivery.

This pitch-perfect imitation of a Rock Hudson-Doris Day nonsex comedy features Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor and a passel of visual delights. But why should we care?

After 10 minutes of getting poked in the ribs with every shot, I thought, 'Is it going to be like this for 90 minutes?'

It's a cute premise, and several co-stars help keep the fun going for a while.

Hilarious spoof on '60s comedies for mature 14+.

Zellweger and McGregor have only their dimpled cuteness to get them through this movie, which you sense, at least from their mugging, that they believe is enough. It isn't.

I think it compares favorably with Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back in its well-timed gags and verbal dexterity.

While the movie definitely has tongue lodged firmly in its postmodern cheek, every detail looks and feels authentic.
