Metacritic reviews

As a goofy little fantasy, however, this film has loads of charm.

Prime date fare, but cotton-candy light and occasionally just a little too whimsical.

This is the kind of movie you sort of like, and yet even while you're liking it, you're thinking how much better these characters and this situation could have been with a little more imagination and daring.

Gets the proportions all wrong -- too much magic, not enough realism.

Not the sweaty midnight stroll through the garden of carnal delights that its title wants you to believe.

Wants to be a brightly colored bubble but has trouble getting aloft.

There is something especially irritating about whimsy done badly.

Cruz is a dish, but her movie is as soggy and indigestible as Styrofoam.

This is as close to a total wipeout as can be imagined.

If Penélope Cruz were any less attractive, maybe someone would have noticed how dull this mild, would-be romantic fairy tale has turned out.
