DUELING CRITICS

"[Kate Hudson's] innate sparkle -- and her rare ability to be as funny as she is beautiful -- makes the movie entirely watchable even at its flightiest moments...scores its major points solely on the strength of its charismatic leading lady"

- Margaret A. McGurk

"This is the world's worst movie about someone writing the world's worst book. Alex & Emma is a dreary, unfunny, painfully forced affair...A romantic comedy with all the charm of dental floss and the cinematic style of a mattress commercial"

- Bill Muller
