Good, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2007)

I wouldn't say that the movie was bad by any means, but I don't think that I would watch it again. It felt long and a little awkward. Most of the jokes were funny, but they all seemed to be one liners and didn't really contribute to the film as a whole. While Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore were certainly interesting to watch on screen, I felt that they lacked any real chemistry. Perhaps it was merely the awkwardness of the characters, but I failed to see any believable passion between the two . Kristen Johnston's character was not utilized fully. They only scratched the surface of the comedic potential that both Johnston and her character offered the movie. She still managed to get some laughs, but it felt like she was cut off before she really hit her stride. My recommendation would be to wait until the movie comes out on DVD and then rent it.
