A males perspective - romantic comedy but a bit out tune...

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2007)

I was dragged to see this by my other half under our usual agreement of my film one week and hers the next. Generally the standard of the rom-coms she has taken me to see recently has been quite high so I had good enough expectations for this film and I am a fan of Hugh Grant. This one however, fell short of my expectations.
The plot is usually irrelevant to me (as all these films are the same) but I really liked "28 days notice" and "50 first dates" so the actors have no real excuse for this but it just didn't work for me. Some scenes were funny enough and the 80's song "pop goes my heart" really stuck in my head but Grant and Barrymore lacked chemistry and the film just wasn't enough com and not too good rom either...
Not one of the better ones...
