A cozy well written and well acted romantic comedy with a twist

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2006)

One of the best romantic comedies in last few years. It's extremely well written and avoids becoming a cliché in most scenes. Acting is excellent for the most part, and characters well rounded and likable - that is except for Mr. Black who doesn't feel believable for a second. Casting him made a movie unnecessarily unbalanced. On one side you have sparkles flying sky high (Diaz and Law) and on the other side you get Winslet trying to make up for the poor choice of Black by developing chemistry with sweet old screenplay writer played Wallach. If I get this on DVD - I'll be sure to fast forward most of the parts with Black/Winslet.
