A Classy Soap-Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2006)

I am amazed I kind of liked this modern-day soap opera-romance with the usual Liberal twists and sometimes-annoying characters. Yet, despite the annoyances, the story was very interesting, the acting was superb and Jack Nicholson combined both to his make character the most interesting of them all. He had some memorable lines. The story was involving, meaning it was tough to put down once you started. Also, for a film that featured the story a lot more than any scenery, it was well-filmed.
I did have a few complaints but they are fairly minor, such as too many OMGs and a little too worldliness at times, but nothing's perfect. For today's usual group of comedies which tend to be on a sleazy side, this was had some class to it.
