Sorry this is such a chick flick and could have been deeper

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2010)

Yes, I know I'm probably too old to appreciate anything about this movie. There's too much corn and stereotypes and all that little girl fantasy that can be squeezed in to the overlong two (yes two!) hours. The corny Irish accents (what young girl doesn't love the Irish lilt); the predictable screenplay, especially when guitar hero Gerard appears on the lake so 'save' the damsels in distress, who have conveniently lost both of the boats' oars. Oh please, come on! God, even Hilary Swank has a go at the accent in some scenes. I usually can't be bothered to write reviews, but the truth about this waffle has to be told. Apparently this movie is based on a book. Well it's a book I will probably read, just to see if it is as badly written as this tripe.
