As formula as a movie can get and still be enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2009)

Bitch on wheels boss needs her assistant to marry her so she can stay in the United States. He agrees and takes her home to meet his parents and to get married and then they somehow begin to fall in love. Good romantic comedy is the sort of film that follows the well worn path of all its predecessors to the point that there is no surprises. Its a well made formula, a tried and true instant recipe and it tastes pretty good, even if its got the aftertaste of being a bit too packaged. Honestly you're going to know if you like this going in or not. Its self selecting. The only downside is whether Sandra Bullock's character as the bitchy boss grates against your sensibilities. I wasn't completely thrilled with her and I think it lessened my enjoyment. Worth a shot, definitely a date movie.
