Appalling. . .just. . .simply. . .appalling

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2006)

I could write volumes on what is wrong with this movie. However, for the sake of brevity, I will keep it to this:
1.) Cameron Diaz is the personification of nails on a chalkboard in this movie.
2.) The musical score (if it should even be called that) is pathetic, cloying and wantonly manipulative, which really could describe most of the movie in general, too.
3.) Those who can act are given such tripe for dialogue that I was embarrassed for them--painfully so: I had to literally pull my coat over my eyes during the worst scenes.
And last but perhaps most telling:
4.) This film brought tears of sadness to the eyes of some one who saw it with me. We thought this film would be MERELY lame or predictable. However, it was BAD. Not even "good bad". Rarely is such a predictable movie so unpredictably this bad.
