Great romantic comedy for all sexes... Great entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2009)

This one had me laughing to tears. No dull second! The lines are sharp, funny to cracking and although sometimes low, hey, it is a romantic comedy. Don't expect witty literary stuff. The comic angle is everywhere, from the anal retentive archetype Abby(Catherine Heigl) to the uneducated street smart Mike(Gerard Butler) who does not get the reference to public figures. So, they do say some words like sex, erection, and even the part where Abby says the word cock is funny. Heigl does a good job playing a "When Harry Met Sally" - Meg Ryan scene both ways, one where she's for real and another where she fakes it. And they're both funny! This is not a chick flick. The laughs were very loud watching this among guys. It might be a bit awkward with a date because this movie stabs at many more romance fallacies than all the other RomComs I've seen. But in my opinion, if you are on a date, it might actually serve to separate the sport from the prune and her reactions will give you some pointers on how to continue. I might even come back to write again and tell you how it is with the wife.... When Harry Met Sally, Bridget Jones's Diary and Two Weeks Notice, are all nice Romantic Comedies and the top rated. This one takes the cake and creams them all.
