On IMDb, the consensus was slightly higher, with a score of 4.5/10, but many reviewers noted the film's lack of depth and failure to fully engage the audience. Metacritic gave the movie a rating of 35 out of 100, with critics pointing out the lack of originality in the storyline. Overall, 'Promise Him Anything' may appeal to fans of lighthearted romantic comedies, but falls short of making a lasting impression.
