Your girl will love this one, too......

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2005)

Okay, so this may be the better romantic comedy so far this year. I loved this movie. It was funny and touching and there was some depth to each character that lead you to understand their idiosyncrasies. Will Smith was delightful, Kevin James appropriately nerdy, and Eva Mendes a great workaholic 21st century girl. The premise that men need a little help to get beyond the obvious barriers to asking "that girl" out is a good one. I think I finally understand "what she sees in him." The plot twists are gentle and not totally unpredictable, but it is endearing that when it comes to his own love life, the date doctor has a boat load of trouble. He can't seem to put any of his own advice into play effectively. The supporting actors are terrific and Will Smith has never been better. I am a great romantic, and even after all these years, still believe in forever love. I bet your girl does too. Take her to this one.
