It's 1962, and feminist Barbara Novak pens a best-selling book that details the drawbacks of love. Slick writer Catcher Block decides to expose Barbara as a fraud by making her fall in love with him. However, his plan has unexpected consequences.
It's a cute premise, and several co-stars help keep the fun going for a while.

Director Peyton Reed keeps this fizzy comedy in an alluringly goofy tizzy from start to finish. This is undoubtedly the skillful battle-of-the-sexes laugher Rock Hudson and Doris Day would have made were they able to naughtily quip about bitches and hose.
This pitch-perfect imitation of a Rock Hudson-Doris Day nonsex comedy features Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor and a passel of visual delights. But why should we care?
Zellweger and McGregor have only their dimpled cuteness to get them through this movie, which you sense, at least from their mugging, that they believe is enough. It isn't.
