Looked Cute but didn't quite live up to the Expectations

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2007)

At least not mine. There were quite a few funny parts and Hugh and Barrymore really make a cute couple, but the plot unravels happened kinda too fast and was a bit too silly. It was simply missing something more real to settle it down and give it more personality. Seeing Hugh Grant do his pelvic thrusting for most of the movie wasn't exactly the highlight of my day, and there were some editing faults that were an eye sore as well- example when they are in the restaurant for brunch the camera angle switches from her back and front and it is not sycronized, one moment she holds her ice tea with left hand other moment it is in her right hand, then she is putting the pastry in her mouth and next shot there is no food in her hand. This goes on for about 2-3 minutes and makes me wonder how come they couldn't spot it. It gives me the impression that it was done quick, low budget and not very well thought out- just like the plot and the dialogue. Not to say that Hugh and Drew don't have chemistry or add life to the movie but could have been much much better.
