It's really not that bad.

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2006)

So I had never planned to watch this movie - ever. But, while visiting a couple of my female friends in Arizona one weekend, I was forced to watch it. And you know what? It wasn't that bad. Yes, it's entirely predictable. Yes, it has all the elements of any romantic comedy. But it's still a good movie. Matthew McConaughey is enough of a "guy" in this movie, all the way down to being a die-hard Knicks fan, to keep it from being a movie guys will hate. In fact, having Kate Hudson be a die-hard Knicks fan herself is somewhat of a stroke of genius - there's nothing a guy likes more than a girl who's a sports fan! I'll never admit to the two friends who made me watch it that it's a good movie. But if you're looking for a good date movie, this should work for you.
