New York Post by Lou Lumenick
Even dumber than Perry's "Three to Tango," this latest sitcommy exercise is sporadically funny in spite of itself -- and not quite as dreadful as you would suspect.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
Serving Sara, which often feels more like serving time, is one of those tortured Hollywood romantic comedies that starts with a passable premise and turns into an inventory of flat gags and weak lines set against a travelogue backdrop.
Boston Globe by Ty Burr
How inept is Serving Sara? It makes even Elizabeth Hurley seem graceless and ugly.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Perry and Hurley don't have much chemistry, and the story is so dumb you might want to sue it for stupidity.
Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan
A lazy, trite comedy that's made by people who don't care either.
Salon by Stephanie Zacharek
Long before Serving Sara drags its butt to the finish line, you wish you were watching a different race.
The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias
Misbegotten late-summer special.
L.A. Weekly by John Patterson
All Serving Sara can offer is Perry with his arm shoulder-deep up a longhorn steer's backside, a wasted supporting cast that includes Vincent Pastore and Cedric the Entertainer, and a huge, comedian-shaped hole where Hurley's performance should be.
New Times (L.A.) by Jean Oppenheimer
Numbingly feeble -- The dialogue is witless, the situations are lame, the humor juvenile and the chemistry between the stars nonexistent.
Austin Chronicle by Steve Davis
It's the kind of bad movie that gives bad movies a bad name.
