- Ebert gave three stars, criticizing the film's excess of plots while praising Cruise and Zellweger together. The panel rejects the overstuffing objection and cannot identify anything worth cutting.
- The film is defended as avoiding melodrama through precise execution; Ebert's written praise is considered closer to three-and-a-half stars, and Siskel is recalled as persuading him to reconsider on television.
