"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."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"Runs smoothly and likably until a maddeningly dumbed-down and cloying finale that sinks the entire film."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

B
"Done right from beginning to end, crafted with meticulous care."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"Deliver Us From Eva is surprisingly a bland and fading “clash-of-the-sexes” comedy that has all the urgency of a giddy Cosmopolitan article...this film forgot to deliver the desired goods along with the convincing complexity that once consumed Eva"  TheWorldJournal.com  Frank Ochieng

C-
"Practically laughless...most viewers will plead for deliverance not just from Eva, but from the whole movie."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"Deliver Us From Eva is a funny romantic comedy with the message that we must never drive difficult people away since they have come into our lives to teach us something important about ourselves."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"Deliver us from screenplays that force likable protagonists to twist and bend their personalities to serve the contortions of a ridiculous and formulaic plot."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/10
"An occasionally amusing but frustrating, annoying and increasingly slipshod romantic comedy that never lives up to its potential, no matter however limited that might be."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

5/10
"One of the 10 things I hate about movies is when I have to see the same stories over and over again. After all, there are only so many ways you can dress up a Pyg(malion)."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

"Populated by people like the people who make you say things like ‘Don’t you just hate people?’: petty, mean-spirited, selfish, inconsiderate, and all-about miserable excuses for human beings."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

B+
"Sharply observed moments, barbed commentary on the sexes, snap, energy, and appeal of its outstanding young cast and understated but affectionate glimpse of the commmnity."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

B
"... what looks like just another contrived sex comedy becomes, surprisingly, an insightful and sensitive look at knots that family ties create in adult romance."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

1.5/5
"So bad, it exists on a whole new level of failure."  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

"Luckily, Gabrielle Union's jazz is matched by LL Cool J's torso. And, he can act too, always helpful."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs
