7 on a scale of 10

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2003)

This was your typical run of the mill romantic comedy. I like the genre. In fact, two of my all-time favorite movies were When Harry Met Sally and American President. However, this movie was only average for this genre.
I like Matthew McC. quite a bit. I see no reason he can't star in any light-hearted movie and be a major strength. But, Kate Hudson sucks. Oh, that the movie would have cast a Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts or someone OTHER than Kate Hudson. Despite my wife's strong disagreement, I don't find her attractive or interesting. Part of it was that we were supposed to kind of dislike her character until the end. But, that was a small part of my problem with her. She just sucks and I don't want to ever see a movie with her in it again. I have no idea on this planet why she is popular! Goldie Hawn would have been better in the role - today!
I also found the story weak. I thought the concept was potentially brilliant and certainly peaked my interest. But, the reviews were very so-so. That didn't stop my wife from renting it. And, now I get the last laugh as I write the final chapter on the saga. There are many better romantic comedies. Save yourself the trouble unless you are an insane Matthew McC. fan.
