ReceptionKevin McDonough of the 'Intelligencer Journal' criticized the film, writing that "It's hard to find fault with a movie trying to help women cope with a life-threatening illness, but Linda's plight might be more accessible if she weren't so darned successful and living such a fabulous two-double-latte-a-day existence and having to fend off so many handsome suitors." A reviewer for the 'Akron Beacon Journal' was also critical, as they felt that Lake's performance was one of the film's major flaws. References | |
