- The announced hot take credits the pairing of the male and female romantic-comedy greats, Hanks and Ryan; its supposed novelty is challenged, with Roberts and Clooney alternatives raised.
- The hot take calls this O'Donnell's finest work and praises her ideal grizzled friend, while others defend her talk show, Beautiful Girls and A League of Their Own; comparisons distinguish Fisher's fuller character arc in When Harry Met Sally.
- A second hot take says a year and a half is too soon to seek a new spouse and introducing Victoria after one date is irresponsible; competing views emphasize a happy widowhood leading to new love, the child's initiative and personal reluctance to remarry.
