Critic Reviews

75 Entertainment Weekly Alynda Wheat
[Lovespring is filled] with some of the best comedic talent out there. [16 Jun 2006, p.68]
70 The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
Icy-dry satire laced with moments of farce and inspired lunacy.
70 Time James Poniewozik
This loose, wry sitcom makes a crackling love connection.
60 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
"Lovespring International" is a lively little cable exercise in over-the-top characters, bad taste, satire, and political incorrectness.
50 Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
A brave and breezy (though slightly uneven) series that is well-cast but not always well-plotted.
50 New York Daily News David Hinckley
It's all sort of cartoonish and, for better or worse, the characters rarely rise above it.
50 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
"Lovespring" could benefit from stronger plots with less ludicrous conclusions.
40 TV Guide Matt Roush
The cast is strong... But the characters come off as icky, wretched backstabbers.
30 Variety Brian Lowry
"Lovespring International" goes for the obvious gags and seems to find itself a lot cuter than most viewers are apt to.
