Romantic American Pie?

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2009)

It wasn't a bad movie, but it felt like an artificial construct. The indie rock backdrop with no real music behind it, the cardboard characters including the dorky but good looking nice guy, the bitchy ex, the gay best friends and the pristine new girl, the New Yorkish set. I mean, wth? You can have real romance without resorting to some reinvention of the high-school drama.
Overall it was OK to watch, not good, not bad. I would have loved to see an original and smart romantic movie be it even a comedy, but this was not it. I rate it completely and utterly average. The bitchy ex was hot, though.
