Reviews

I thought the movie would be a lot better than it was. I didn't think Uma Thurman fit the part very well, and I don't think she had much chemistry with Colin Firth or Dean Morgan. It wasn't a terrible movie, but not a movie I would watch again.

At least, with an television broadcast test pattern you get a sound that's in tune. The soundtrack to this movie turned an otherwise mediocre dull, girl-falls-for-the-other-guy-for-no-good-reason "love story" into a "Where did I put the earplugs; I can't find the MUTE button fast enough" monotone singing, American-Idol rejects eppisode. William Hung has a better voice than whomever sang that hiddeous tune played throught, and after this movie. If the music was better I'd give it ONE more star. But it lost a star because I can't get the pain of that noise out of my head now! Save yourself the time and watch the brittish classic "I'm alright Jack". At least you can get an education from that movie, where you can't from this one.

I needed something non-challenging to watch last night so I rented this DVD. It's fairly formulaic and, unless you're in the mood for this type of film, could be boring, but I enjoyed it. I love Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and he's charming in this film. He plays the part perfectly, with a roguish glint in his eye. Colin Firth is good as the boring and predictable fiance and Uma Thurman handles her first romanti comedy role deftly. The writing is so-so, but the cinematography is gorgeous. I won't summarize the plot; other reviewers have already done that. This isn't the best romantic comedy out there, but it's more than adequate as a fun film. JDM has the potential to be a major romantic comedy star.

I am a person who goes to the movies a lot...and sees every chic flick (Romantic Comedy) there is to see!!! This is one I was hoping to see when it came out at the theater, but I never made...because I dont think it was out long enough for anytone to actually see. Well cking constantly to see when this would finally be released to come out on DVD....I was very excited to see it available on the 10th of this month! So you can guess where I was on the 10th...renting this movie!! Well I am very happy to report...this movie was WONDERFUL! If you want a perfect girls night out movie..this is it!!! The story was so cute and the actors who stared in this did a great job! I love Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan is just perfect for this movie!! I am about to order it now on Amazon!!! And I highly recommend this movie!! You will love it too!

1. Ok, I checked out this film tonight wondering why I never heard of this before. After watching around 20 min of it, I started to realize why--> ie, this film really lives in pure fantasy land. You have to really wonder if the writers of this film were professional writers or someone they hired... from the local high school drama program. The storyline is just... unbelievable, lame, and immature (I can't describe it in any other way). 2. The biggest question I have is, how in the world Uma Thurman and Colin Firth got bamboozled into doing this flop of a movie? Unless you're completely bored, skip this.
