Light Fun for Those Who Need a Romantic Diversion

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2005)

Anytime a movie has a scene that makes me laugh uncontrollably, it gets a vote from me. This movie had two such scenes -- the don't dance lesson (seen in all the trailers but better in its entirety) and the food allergy scene. But the entire movie had its charm from beginning to end. For me there was an added benefit in the underlying message of the movie. Men are jerks, but we are lovable because of it. None of us really know what can attract a woman. The harder we try, the more we fail -- unless of course, we are just sleazy (those guys seem to succeed at getting what they want all the time, although there is no joy in that kind of relationship for most people). If you want a fun diversion, this is a great movie to see. You will laugh. You will find it amazing that women tolerate men. This movie does exactly what it sets out to do -- make falling in love seem fun.
