Gibson and Hunt are great actors and this film is entertaining just because they are good and fun to watch. The story is of course captivating and after watching the previews I was really looking forward to watching this flick. The problem was that it became too predictable and too mushy, and hey, I'm a guy, I want to see a little bit more complexity to a movie if I am going to watch a "Chick Flick".There isn't really any great insights here and Gibson's move from shallow to sensitive is a bit contrived. Hunt is a great actress but this film is kind of waste of her talent.One of the problems with this kind of movie is that having a protagonist take on either special abilities or becoming someone else is that if not done almost perfectly it comes across as lame. Compared to a movie like "Big" with Tom Hanks changing overnight from an adolescent to an adult this movie falls very short.I only give a mild recommendation, if you like Gibson and Hunt and don't mind corny romance stories, you'll enjoy this movie, if you're looking for depth, keep looking.
