The movie itself is a cattle ranch full of joke droppings and mooing shtick not worth stepping in.

Late summer is often the dumping ground for comedies that go flat or romances that fizzle. Sara is both.

[Hell is] looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through.

Surprisingly amusing.

Laura Sinagra Village Voice (Top Critic)

With Vicodin-sharp timing, Perry wavers from glib to glazed, seeming to openly rue his miscasting as palookaville process server Joe Tyler.

Hank Sartin Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

Romantic comedy ought to have some romance and laughs, but this extraordinarily flat effort has neither.

Robert Koehler Variety (Top Critic)

Serving Sara is little more than a mall movie designed to kill time.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

A broadly played, lowbrow comedy in which the cast delivers mildly amusing performances and no farm animals were injured by any of the gags.

Crass and joyless.

This movie has many of the usual elements a romantic comedy has.

Excruciating.

Filled with artificial sweetener, and ultimately not satisfying enough.

Any effort anyone puts forth is obviously for naught when the movie's supposedly showstopping set piece has Perry stick his arm up a bull's anus to tickle his prostate.

Hurley in particular is astoundingly awful.

If he so chooses, David Schwimmer could make a movie co-starring Gallagher and Yakov Smirnoff. It would have to be better.

One clever concept, several witty comedians, and many commonplace scenarios means Serving Sara will be served more at Blockbuster than at the multiplexes.

...Designed to appeal to moviegoers whose goal is to sit in an air-conditioned theater for 1 1/2 hours with their brains on 'pause.'

Here's a stretch: Elizabeth Hurley is a sexy English girl and Matthew Perry is Chandler in this senseless, surprisingly unfunny comedy.

There's still something vaguely enjoyable about the film, as there has been with most of Matthew Perry's movies.

[Cedric the Entertainer] gives what just might be the worst performance of the year (and no, I'm not forgetting A Walk to Remember's Mandy Moore).

Lame, limp, unappealing, incompetent, clueless -- these are the kindest words I can come up with to describe this film.

Shirley Sealy Film Journal International

Neither Perry nor Hurley displays a gift for romantic nonsense, and it's difficult to detect any real or faked sexual chemistry between the two stars.

It's not pretty watching this likable cast floundering in search of something funny to do.

'...One drawn-out, painful chase, with a few slugs, love smacks and prostate jokes.'

Serving Sara is so close to "fun little diversion" that it makes the parts that don?t work hurt more than they really should.
