Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2005)

Surprisingly cute, well-done, very funny film. Will Smith, Kevin James, Eva Mendes, and especially Amber Valletta give excellent performances and bring even more to the written material. Valletta's character, in a supporting role, is the key here in my mind... She brings a warmth and believability to the stereotyped "Snobby Rich B*itch" that helps bring things to a comic and almost believable conclusion... Will Smith and Mendes provide substance to the main roles, and their tension, conflict, and attraction is alive and takes us in while Smith and Kevin James provide the majority of comic relief...My wife and I had a great time watching and left the theater quite satisfied - there's no doubt this is THE date movie of 2005.
