- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckGigandet, whose star has been rising thanks to his roles in such films as "Twilight," "Burlesque" and "Easy A," delivers a sensitive portrayal that proves he's more than just a hunk. Malone is as appealing as always, and Hartman is wonderfully fun as the Buster Poindexter-like singer. But the script lacks the depth to transcend its cutesy gimmick.

- 50VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibBuday's astrology-themed romantic comedy boasts a promising premise, convincing chemistry between its attractive leads and fine thesping by a defensively edgy Jena Malone. But the uneven script, repetitive tropes and over-indulgence of actorly bits slow the pace, tipping youthful casualness into complacency.

- 40Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonGigandet fills every close-up with flirtatious face wrinkles, embarrassed smiles, and anything else he can think of, to the point where Jake seems downright spastic; although not terribly good at acting, Gigandet seeks to compensate for this fact by doing a lot of it.
- 30Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleFrankly, it's hard to imagine even George Clooney making such ill-used screen minutes interesting. But the movie around those moments is even worse.
- 25Slant MagazineSlant MagazineDanny Buday's film is not so much skeptical of astrology as confused about it.
