Better than expected.

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2003)

I went into the movie expecting a bomb. To be honest, I saw the previews and had it tacked on my "don't bother to see it" list. But then my girlfriend took me to see it, and I have to admit, it wasn't bad.
Matthew McConaughey was incredibly charismatic in the movie, although I felt that Kate Hudson wasn't really into the movie. The real charm of the movie is in their interaction, and how he deals with all the horrible things she does to him. He does a wonderful job of wondering what's going on, then determining to fight his way back into her heart.
It wasn't the best movie of the year, and it wasn't the worst. I'd say overall, it was worth the price of admission. 6 out of 10.
