A Good Romantic Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2007)

This was never designed to be more than an entertaining, sweetly uplifting movie. There have been many movies that attempt this genre and many have failed. Bruce exceeds at both the comedy and the romance, eventually. The comedy is a given since it has Jim Carey in it as long as you find him funny. I know 1 or 2 that do not. The romantic part is supplied by the one of the most gorgeous woman alive who has perfected pouting lips. (Still don't understand Brad's choice.) Bruce does go the extra effort to illicit misty eyes from most of the viewers.
It could have been better, if it had used the more than capable supporting cast more effectively. Unfortunately, the storyline does not allow for close friends, since Carey's character is self centered and self pitying.
