Enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2004)

Anyone going to this film expecting more than goofy coincidences and misunderstandings, throwing realism out the window in favour of light-hearted comedy, is expecting far too much. I'll be the first to say "don't judge a book by it's cover", but from the trailers or tv spots you can't expect anything more than that.
That being said, i thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Yes, from a critical viewpoint I'm not so sure about the chemistry between Hudson and McConaughey, but big deal. I found myself laughing despite how ridiculous both were being throughout the movie. A good date film for laughs, in my opinion.
All in all, I rather liked it; the film doesn't try to be anything more than advertised.
