What a disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2009)

This film needed actors like Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn to deliver the slapstick, say the lines and recreate the scewball comedies of the 1930s, to get us through today's depression. Alas the two leading actors were dull and plodding. Mary Steenburgen and Betty White were wasted. The Director, Anne Fletcher, certainly made it look like her first film, cobbling together TV-sitcom type scenes with no linking and drive. It was a fake film, not even shot in Alaska. If this is good romcom, then the rest must be awful. What are the top three romcoms of recent years? We need to know so we can escape back to the surefire comedies of yesteryear.
