Unexpected like

Rating: 6/10 (12 July 2013)

I had avoided watching this movie for a long time as I don't like Ryan Reynolds. Often his characters are arrogant and I thought this one would be the same. Surprisingly his character was quite likable. The story wasn't very believable - would you fall for your boss who had bullied you for years? I love Sandra Bullock and there was no fault in her acting but the arc of her character didn't seem believable. Perhaps there needed to be a typical movie montage where they bond and laugh together in typical Hollywood style. However, despite the terrible storyline, I actually found I enjoyed this movie and have re-watched it many times since. Andrew's mum and grandma are very likable and it's nice to have a movie not primarily set in New York. It's not perfect but an enjoyable watch.
