surprisingly bad

Rating: 2/10 (27 August 2009)

I was actually surprised by how bad this film was. First and foremost there is absolutely no chemistry between Grant and Roberts whatsoever. If there had been it just might have carried the absurdly thin plot line. But I don't know how far as the characters lacked emotional depth, they could not make the attraction look believable, they looked like actors playing parts instead of people falling in love and half the time I felt Roberts was just there to provide the grist for Grant's one liners (humourous though they may be). Roberts' character is an actress hounded by the media, desperately needing some privacy, an escape, some normality. She bumps into William Thacker and really, it should have ended there.
