Predictable, but has it's moments

Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2003)

Not a big fan of click flicks, but this one had some elements in it that I thought were noteworthy. Firstly, Matthew's character. His family isn't disgusting or one that you would hate to be in. The friendly card games they play remind me of how my family spirit is.
Secondly, it's a classic match up of two people going after the same but opposite goals. How is that possible? It reminds me a lot of 'What Women Want' in the effect that it's the guy who's going after the prize this time.

Lastly, the humor level touches on both women and men levels. I laughed at a lot of scenes. It may be a "chick flick" or a "date movie" but it's to me, a light hearted love-comedy (which is ultimately what I see as the goal).
See this one, but try not to go for more than a cheap early bird if you're tired of the same predictable storylines. It was good in it's own right.
