Man what a bad movie

Rating: 1/10 (18 March 2010)

Seriously, i don't know what movie studios are thinking now a days, releasing movies like these into the cinemas. I went to watch this movie, not with high hopes (after all the whole opposites attract formula has been used millions of times in romantic comedies, so it wasn't very original) but i thought it could be fun. I mean the trailer had it's moments, and i am a Gerard Butler fan, i thought maybe he could have good chemistry with Katherine Heigl (she did OK in knocked up). None of it was there, no chemistry, no good acting, no script, no laughs. The only reason i am not giving it a 0 to this movie is because i had a few laughs in the vibrator scene (is not a spoiler because it appears in the trailer). I am a big fan of Gerard Butler, but i don't know what he was thinking, is like he accepted the movie without even reading that awfully unfunny script. He did very good in 300 (some people say his acting was stiff, but i think it was very powerful, his approach to Leonidas was chilling) so i guess he should stick to those kind of strong quiet type kind of roles. Another thing is his accent, he cannot pull it of, his American accent is jut plain awful, Gerard if you are reading this for any reason whatsoever, i am a big fan but stick to your native accent or at least get a better American coach. Katherine Heigl does a lousy job playing this highly annoying network executive, her whole character is just annoying, and the way they approached the character was just unreal. As i said earlier the script is painfully unfunny, i mean they jut used clichè after clichè of the macho stereotype for Butler, clearly trying to emphasize how different he was with Heigl's character: Guess what? this time it didn't work. The characters were so cliché'd that they just became caricatures, i never cared for any of them, i didn't care if they ended up together or not. All in all is an awful movie, and i just couldn't repress my feelings towards this mess of a movie. Horrible performances, Horrible movie
