Actually, its not that bad...

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2004)

Its a chick flick, that's a given. But surprisingly, despite the fact that its completely predictable, its a pretty good movie. And this is strictly because of the acting of both Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. The roles played by James Garner and Gena Rowland were decent, but they seemed to get in the way of the tale of the young lovers (like the time where its "lts break for lunch!"). Still, its the performances of the young couple that made the girls cry when I saw it, and the guys (both of us) at least have fun making comments a la Mystery Science Theatre 3000. In summary, yes its a chick flick. Yes its sappy. Yes its predictable. However, its sufferable. (could be worse. It could have starred Kate Hudson!)
