Too cutesy writing and a waste of amazing actors

Rating: 5/10 (3 December 2006)

The writer took an interesting concept and waxed cute instead of substantial. I spent the first half hour waiting for the movie to get beyond very predictable "Cameron" and "Kate" stereotypical moments. Wondered why these actors ever said yes to this script. (Except that everyone is shot in the most Hollywood gorgeous manner - Jude Law and Cameron Diaz couldn't look more delectable.) Given nothing going on in the movie, just cut to Cameron or Jude looking fabulous. Just when I thought the film was a total waste, it did have some very interesting moments. However, you can hear the writing in spite of the fact that each actor is working very hard to make the script work. It was a pleasant enough movie, but I had hoped for so much more, with these four actors. Eli Wallach stole the movie for my tastes.
