Critics praised Sam Rockwell's charismatic performance, with some noting his ability to bring charm to the roguish protagonist. However, others felt that the film struggled to capture the wit and sophistication of the original P.G. Wodehouse novel. Rotten Tomatoes does not provide a score for this specific film, indicating limited critical aggregation. Reviews often pointed out that while the period setting and costumes were well executed, the screenplay's pacing and comedic timing were inconsistent, occasionally detracting from the overall enjoyment. Some reviewers appreciated the movie's light and breezy tone suitable for fans of classic romantic comedies, while others considered the plot somewhat convoluted and the humor less sharp than expected. The film appeals mostly to viewers who enjoy character-driven stories with old-fashioned charm, even though it may not resonate well with those expecting a more dynamic or innovative adaptation.
