Above average movie for high schoolers.March 25, 2003
While the premise of the director's follow-up ... is promising, he botches the execution at every turn, leaving his cast to drift aimlessly among half-baked plot points.March 07, 2003
Any romantic comedy that gives you time to think probably isn't doing its job.March 10, 2003
The fact that there's little new in the roundabout urban updating of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew detracts not a whit from its charms, most of which come from leads LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union.February 10, 2003
Solid cast and the occasional chuckle notwithstanding, this movie is wildly uneven, chugging this way and that before careening off track.March 07, 2003
Depicts gender warfare as a kind of pillow fight.February 10, 2003
Deliver us from screenplays that force likable protagonists to twist and bend their personalities to serve the contortions of a ridiculous and formulaic plot.February 14, 2003
Stuff like that happens only in sitcoms and bad movies ...January 05, 2010
Smith and Union overcome the sometimes-strained mechanics of the plot.March 07, 2003
For the most part, Deliver Us From Eva is a pretty enjoyable, if predictable, romantic comedy.July 06, 2008
[Smith] and Union bring out the best in each other, especially (and surprisingly) during the more dramatic emotional interludes.March 10, 2003
The simplistic approach to the material will no doubt please undiscriminating viewers, while those who've seen any romantic comedy will be consistently several steps ahead of the characters.
