Comment savoir

« La sincérité de James L. Brooks, aimable chroniqueur des moeurs contemporaines, n'est pas en cause dans le ratage de cette comédie sentimentale. »

« Sympathique comédie sur la nécessité de reprendre les rennes de son existence, How Do You Know de James L. Brooks embarque de charmants comédiens dans une montagne russe de rires. Une légère brise saisonnière qui faut prendre pendant qu'elle passe. »

« Rien ne fonctionne dans cette comédie sentimentale orchestrée par James L. Brooks. Et cela se sent dès les premières minutes de visionnement. »

« But How Do You Know, for all its flat moments, is far better than what we've been accepting in recent years, and its lack of plot allows for us to spend more time with the characters who, while a little underwritten, each shine individually thanks to the actors playing them. »

« It seems like Brooks was trying really hard to make How Do You Know more than just another rom-com, by inserting a ripped from the headlines side plot about corporate greed, but it's dealt with in such an offhand manner that you wonder why he bothered. »

« How Do You Know must have started with a good idea that got lost in the translation from concept to screen. »

« In How Do You Know, a romantic comedy about missed opportunities, scripted and otherwise, Reese Witherspoon wears an industrial-strength smile and a laser twinkle that looks as if it's set on kill. »
