Worse than root canal

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2005)

I am completely baffled by the high ranking this one has received.
I guess it's a chick-flick or something, but then I really like some chick flicks. this one just grates on my nerves. After 15 minutes of agony, I was hitting the FF button. After 45 minutes, I had to turn it off. that almost never happens.
I have not seen the second half, and probably never will.
I'm not trashing this movie to be cute, or to go against the crowd, I really think it's a smarmy, cutesy, clichÃ©d and pretentious piece of fluff.
I didn't think ANY actor could be more annoying than Jim Carrey, but the normally fine Kate Winslet pulls it off.
I need a shower.
