Adorable despite its tired genre.

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2003)

It is adorable, and much better than most films of its genre. Not as good as its cutesie recent counterpart Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon. The lead actors McConaughey and Hudson are undeniably likable here. They do not seem too self-impressed and seem to think about their characters' motivations and feelings if were in this romance. The originality within an usually unoriginal American film genre was appreciated here. All in all, worth seeing!
