Don't tell my g/f

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2005)

but I enjoyed this film. McConaughey and Hudson bring appropriate energy to the film and really keep the action going. Yeah, it's a chick flick and the film develops more or less as you'd expect, but as long as you recognize those two factors (not crimes in and of themselves), the dance is fun. It's an entertaining film and I guess disposable candy entertainment, but all the same, both characters remain honest to the objectives their characters have and they handle their feelings for one another in attractive ways. However the film doesn't seem to be manipulating the viewer's feelings which is always a deal-breaker for me. Charisma of Hudson and McConaughey and a clever comedic/romantic hook keep this movie ticking along nicely. I've seen a few rom/coms...never of my own free will....but this one really was not terribly unenjoyable.
