Difficult to understand how this could happen.

You know those websites which can automatically write a politician's speech or a covering letter when all they have to go on is a few multiple choice options you have selected? Well who knew Richard Curtis had found the equivalent for romantic "comedies".
The options Richard Curtis selected; at random one can only presume unless his 2 year old niece danced on his keyboard while he was doing something unbelievably humanitarian in order to make up for the millions of hours of people's time that he will have wasted with this film; were, and in no particular order:
1. "a film that audiences will forget that they are watching while they are watching it"
I forgot to mention that he only had one option to select and that of the millions at his disposal he selected what we can now safely call "the Richard Curtis" option.
All Hollywood and English speaking production companies have a "richard curtis" button somewhere on each of their keyboards. Unfortunately this button is so overused that the ink has dissolved leaving what looks like a mini space bar.
If you find yourself laughing, crying or in any way involved with the characters in this film, please step away from your computer and any household appliances in your vicinity before you do yourself an injury.
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh I mean let's face it, how many films out of 10 these days do we actually enjoy? Oh wait, maybe that's the point I am trying to make...
