Acceptable Romantic Comedy

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2004)

If you are like my girl friend and like romantic comedies, you won't be disappointed by this movie. Don't be scared off by the low IMDb rating. It is a perfectly okay movie, albeit one that is not going to win any academy awards. If there is a weak spot in the movie, it is Richard Gere. He can often be very good, as in Chicago, or the movie where he played an Irish rebel (I forget the name). But I never can quite buy him, when he tried to play an ordinary Joe as he does in this movie. But the rest of the cast is very good and very believable. Jennifer Lopes does a great job. She does some very sexy dance scenes. I wish Susan Sarandon had a bigger part, she is very believable.
