Gibberish, Sandra how COULD you ...

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2009)

I tried to like this movie. I admire Sandra Bullock, she has contributed greatly to the art of TV and movie drama, as producer and actress. She excels at the former, and is mediocre to good as the latter.
But this movie is a steaming pile of every tired Hollywood invention going. The acting is very good, but can't be saved by this awful script. You kept wondering when the story was going to advance, but ended up sitting through scene after scene of the "we don't really like each other but we had to get married because (fill in plot device)". Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz nailed this routine in "What Happens in Vegas", a hilarious movie,and the same actor in "Just Married" with Brittany Murphy.
Betty White, in her mid-80's, is the one shining light in this film as the grandmother. She dominated the funniest scene in the film. Likewise, the epilogue that runs alongside the final credits is great. Oscar Nunez as Ramone also has a pretty good scene... but that's it.
Rent Ash's two films or better, buy them, if you like this type of comedy. No one can pull it off like him.
