Such a shame

Rating: 1/10 (13 September 2007)

Wasn't looking forward to this film anyway as I know from the description it's not my kind of thing at all. However, after first 15 minutes was pleasantly surprised and to my horror was quite enjoying it. The main protagonists had a good chemistry in the fact that they're at opposite ends of the spectrum and was funny to see Ben's comments. However, all starts to turn sour with this film once we hit 40-45 minutes. What was once a decent light comedy with a serious side... turns into a dull , predictable rom/com without the com or the rom in fact hahaha... it's literally a dreary hour that somehow just turns into a meadrama and loses ALL interest. Ben and Alison are now just going through the motions and there's no light relief...
In fact I can say I've never been so bored with a film ever, which was a shame as upto 45 minutes, it was certainly a decent 6/10 simply because of some great one liners from Ben... however, it's like the makers have got to the half way point and thought, lets make a serious film? Doesn't work and even though it goes into what I class as simply a "girly film" I defy any women to actually find it interesting?"
