Head Over Heels 2001

Ebert & Roeper: Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: It lacks that light touch that can make all the difference. Read more

Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Some viewers will enjoy the movie, but film critics and sociologists will not be among them. Read more

A.O. Scott, New York Times: Head Over Heels, like Mr. Prinze's other movies, exists in a realm beyond sense, and it induces in the viewer a trancelike state, leaving the mind free to ponder the mysteries of the universe. Read more

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader: The best jokes are on the models and the men who pursue them, and Shalom Harlow, Ivana Milicevic, Sarah O'Hare, and Tomiko Fraser -- the real models who play Potter's roommates --are very good sports. Read more

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Don't bother, unless you like gross-out humor. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It's as if the production was a fight to the death between bright people with a sense of humor, and cretins who think the audience is as stupid as they are. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Light stuff, the cinematic equivalent of the airy wax paper that separates cold cuts on a delicatessen scale. Read more

Mike Clark, USA Today: It feels like a movie some other actress rejected -- you can almost see Sandra Bullock using the screenplay manuscript as a coffee coaster. Read more

Lael Loewenstein, Variety: The film's strenuous play for laughs tends to overshadow its assets. Read more

Caleb Crain, Village Voice: If you are 17, there are worse date movies. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Just another bland, fair-to-middling vehicle for two emerging, fledgling stars. Read more

Rita Kempley, Washington Post: With each rewrite, it seems, things grew fouler, duller and more idiotic. Read more
