Ho Hum

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2011)

I was very impressed by Mr. Reitman's yeoman effort to make a four hour romantic comedy, but the tired premise, the routine scene changes and lack of empathy with the characters made this a dismal effort. Okay, it wasn't really a four hour film, but it sure seemed like it. I began yawning twenty minutes into the picture and when I was wondering just how much longer this could drag out I noted that only 37 minutes has passed. But being with my wife who loves anything mushy, I had to sit there and tough it out. The actors are all personable and I've always had respect for Mr. Reitman's work. But nobody hits a home run all the time.
