Fall in love with Kate Winslet

Rating: 7/10 (20 April 2007)

First off, let me tell you. I hate romantic comedies! From the bottom of my heart, they make me sick. But not this one. All because of Kate Winslet...
If this movie was all about Kate, maybe it could have earned an 8 or even 9 rating, because she's so lovely and beautiful and helpless... I couldn't resist her, and couldn't help to care about her, even incurring in the ridiculous talk to the screen moments... Even though she would deserve a much more handsome pair, Jack Black ended up being a good match for her.
Jack's character, in cold analysis, is one of the best features of the movie, as he is unlikely cast. The thing I hate the most in this kind of movie is that everything is predictable, so an unexpected cast is a breath of fresh air in the style, specially if you're tired of the Ben Affleck/Hugh Grant standard.
In the other hand, Cameron Diaz is sooo silly. All her self featured scenes in the movie are just comedy, with no romance in it. Luckily, Jude Law and those lovely little kids of his keep her form drowning the effort for sure. Nevetheless, if the film was all about them both, I have to state that I'd never have reached the end of it.
And that's very much everything there is to say about it... The whole work is set in a way tho make Kate's and Cameron's stars shine, without any deeper artistic ambition. And Kate delivers, Cameron, well, she tries...
The right company may improve the fruition of this. At least, it worked for me...
So, if you like romantic comedy, watch it and enjoy. If you like Kate Winslet, give it a try. But if you don't like neither of them, do like Tom Cruise in Minority Report: Ruuuuuuun!!!!!!!
