Entertaining and pleasant!

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 2015)

If you are not a romantic comedy person you will not like this film. It is corny and campy in all the right ways! There are a few plot twists that are not especially predictable, as well as some that are quite formulaic. It has a great cast, although I must say that Cameron Diaz is not the best actress. At times her style is over the top and just plain ridiculous. I think Sandra Bullock would have been better suited for the role of Amanda, despite the age difference between her and Jude Law, it really would not have been at all noticeable. I loved Eli Wallach as Arthur! His scenes with Kate Winslet are great. Jude Law, Jack Black, and Rufus Sewell are all terrific in their roles as the men in Amanda and Iris' lives. Ed Burns has a very small role in the film as Amanda's ex, but he is good for his part. I highly recommend this film to anybody who is trying to find a mindless feel-good flick to pass the time.
