Austin American-Statesman: 1 out of 4 stars
"The storytelling is rudimentary; the acting is worse."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B-
"... the movie's frothy excess and good humor can make you say "I do," too."

Dayton Daily News: C
"There's too much of let's try this, let's discard that."

Palm Beach Post: B
" ... nothing to take too seriously, but expect to leave the theater with Indian rhythms rattling in your brain and a smile on your face."
