Feel good rom-com!
This is a nice - feel good - romantic comedy. It doesn't have a complicated plot or any hidden meanings all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy. It's a handy, pj day film to have in your cupboard plus a half naked Ryan Reynolds is defo worth a watch!
Terrible film Sandra Bullocks worst
I'm so glad I only rented this. If I'd bought it, it would have gone in the bin. No Chemistry between the cast.
Disappointing crude and a waste of time. Surprised by the positive comments on this item!
why so many good reviews?
Seriously I don't know what went wrong with this movie but it really doesn't deserve more than 2 stars. Where were the laughs? Where was the chemistry? Ryan Reynolds comedic talents were seriously underused - Just Friends this isn't - and that's a bad thing. Much as I love her, Sandra Bullock has a hit and miss record of late and this is definitely the latter. Its kind of trying to be How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days but without the comedy, or the romance, or any believable chemistry between the leads. Even the legendary Betty White could'nt save this movie.
Update on purchase
The package arrived perfectly and the price was a good one.
The film however was a let down.
Quite common...
This is a typical "easy" comedy. It has some good parts, but if I'd already seen it, I wouldn't buy the DVD, that's for sure. The plot is an easy guess from the start and some of the scenes are kind of "meant to be very funny", but end up pushing it too hard. I find the story rather slow in parts and I'm getting bored. I miss more substantial and witty dialogue. Would definitely like to see more of the character "Bob" (played by Aasif Mandvi), who appears at the beginning, as I find the main male character so blunt. I expected more from this film - maybe seen too many others like this one - so I was disappointed.
