My Thoughts: The movie was a very different type of love story. It was definitely entertaining, but there were times when I thought it was predictable. However, if you are looking for a movie that doesn’t require too much thought to enjoy, this is a good movie to see. It is a comedy so the movie often makes fun of situations that you or someone you know could be facing. However, sometimes this is exactly what is needed to get someone out of their slump and moving forward.
If you?re looking for an action/thriller which combines a solid script with great acting, then you might try watching something else. If, on the other hand, you?re looking for a movie with plot holes big enough to drive a truck through, then you might want to check out the latest Michael Douglas film, The Sentinel.
