The writer needs to find a new line of work

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2010)

I am a romantic comedy fan, but I turned this one off in the middle. There are plenty of things to dislike about the movie (acting and direction come to mind), but there is only one villain here -- the writer. This is an unbelievable, trite, predictable piece, with phony dialog, unfunny obvious attempts at humor, and bland characters. If you are a prima donna who thinks the world should revolve around her, but doesn't, you might identify with the Cameron Diaz character, for whom everything works out effortlessly and undeservedly, like a pre-adolescent fantasy. But, in fact, there is no interesting character in the entire movie.
