Sentiment: positive

Sentiment: positive

Sentiment: negative

Review: what a bewilderingly brilliant and entertaining 
Sentiment: positive


Review: while the film is competent , it 's also uninspired , lacking the real talent and wit to elevate it beyond its formula to the level of classic romantic comedy to which it aspires .
