a disaster

Rating: 2/10 (13 January 2007)

this is one of the few movies to cause me physical pain, not only was it a giant, pointless cliché (as most romcoms are) this was a very bad pointless cliché. the "dialogue" could have been a recycled script from an old saved by the bell episode. Cameron Diaz was too bad for words, thinking about it makes me want to take a shower. jack black played jack black as usual but with less humour. kate winslet was doing a bad impression of bridget jones, and jude law... pass me the bucket, i need to get sick. he was cheesier, more soppy, sentimental, humourless, charmless version of hugh grant. like hugh he was playing the 'englishman' that American directors seem to think exists in england, they don't. it's patronising. English men don't tell people they've just shagged "you're lovely". anyway them entire thing was a disgrace from start to finish, i'm not a movie snob, romcoms can be good and entertaining, about a boy, love actually, etc. but this one was a disaster.
i recommend this to anyone how has recently undergone a lobotomy or suffered massive head trauma, but for most sane people this embarrassment of a film will cause physical pain
