Top CriticThis movie has many of the usual elements a romantic comedy has.

Romantic comedy ought to have some romance and laughs, but this extraordinarily flat effort has neither.
01/03/07
Crass and joyless.
01/03/07
Filled with artificial sweetener, and ultimately not satisfying enough.
09/30/05
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.
01/07/05
Hurley in particular is astoundingly awful.
02/01/04
If he so chooses, David Schwimmer could make a movie co-starring Gallagher and Yakov Smirnoff. It would have to be better.
06/27/03
One clever concept, several witty comedians, and many commonplace scenarios means Serving Sara will be served more at Blockbuster than at the multiplexes.
05/20/03
...Designed to appeal to moviegoers whose goal is to sit in an air-conditioned theater for 1½ hours with their brains on 'pause.'
02/08/03
Here's a stretch: Elizabeth Hurley is a sexy English girl and Matthew Perry is Chandler in this senseless, surprisingly unfunny comedy.
01/13/03
There's still something vaguely enjoyable about the film, as there has been with most of Matthew Perry's movies.
10/02/02
[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).
09/24/02
Lame, limp, unappealing, incompetent, clueless -- these are the kindest words I can come up with to describe this film.
09/18/02
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.
09/14/02
It's not pretty watching this likable cast floundering in search of something funny to do.
09/03/02
'...One drawn-out, painful chase, with a few slugs, love smacks and prostate jokes.'
09/03/02
Serving Sara is so close to "fun little diversion" that it makes the parts that don?t work hurt more than they really should.
