It's Cute...

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 2007)

Really, it is a cute movie. Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore work well together. Both of them give fine performances. The real stand-out, of course, is Kristen Johnston best known from Third Rock From the Sun. She was quite funny! The main downfall of the movie for me was the Cora Corman character. It was obvious that the director told her to act so stiff and non-responsive, but it was a bad decision. I think the character could have worked better if she had just played it as a whining pop star, so that was a disappointment. The final song, however, ended up being really beautiful. A great song, coming from a movie that really did all I wanted it to do- It made me laugh, kept me entertained, and provided an easy night out. 6/10 stars!
