Why does this ALWAYS HAPPEN in movies like this???

Rating: 5/10 (8 June 2006)

Here's a question directed toward anyone who expects romantic comedies to be good...why in movies like this are the side romances more entertaining than the one we're supposed to be interested in? In WC, we are basically supposed to be falling in love with the romance between Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson. However, about twenty minutes into this film I found myself caring more about what happened to Vaughn and Fisher's characters. She is FANTASTIC as a love-crazed little sister going after a "cool" guy. And Vaughn is great once he realizes that Fisher's character has been lying to him the whole time.
I couldn't wait to see what sweet little Gloria was going to do to Vaughn next. The desire to see their relationship develop blinded me from the whole rest of the movie until I found myself thinking, "Oh yeah, we're supposed to be watching Wilson and McAdams." I can't give this movie a good review because I would much rather have watched two hours of Vaughn and sex-crazed Fisher than anyone else in that movie.
