A good balance of "girl" movie and "guy" movie

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2001)

I went to the preview thinking this movie would be a complete "chick flick", but was pleasantly surprised. While it is a romantic comedy, it doesn't have the almost slapstick humour of a "Meet the Parents" or come on as strong as "Sleepless in Seattle." Most of the humour is based on severe bluntness, but not to the point it becomes unrealistic. "Hotel de Love" is the only romantic comedy I can think of that is in the same league as this movie. While I didn't like the movie as much as my girlfriend (who wants to see it again), I was quite pleased with the movie and its definately worth the time to go see it.
