Chick flicks. A staple in American society and a painin …. But now comes one I almsot enjoyed. Sandra Bullock, great character actor, never breaks pace in this film.
I saw this movie in the theater with two girlfriends. One was almost as bored as I was. And the other was laughing the whole time. I think I laughed a total of once, but maybe it was because I didnt want to be seen as liking these types of movies.
Story is halfway interesting but even more predictable, which is becoming a trend in Holly wood these days for some reason. Hugh Grant is a great actor and a very funny guy all the way around.
So, the film loses a star for being what it is, a chick flick… but it loses another for lack of laughs.

I like Sandra Bullock and I like Hugh Grant but this movie was TERRIBLE! The makers of this movie should be ashamed of themselves for accepting movie viewers’ money. I don’t even understand why anyone would bother making a movie with the script they had to work with. It was TERRIBLE!

Both my daughter and I looked forward to seeing this film. I am a big fan of both Sandra Bullocks and Hugh Grant, as they are charismatic and talented actors with a feel for comedy. Unfortunately, even they cannot overcome a witless script and the ham-handed direction of Marc Lawrence.
Sandra Bullock plays the role of neurotic Lucy Kelson, a Harvard Law School grad who follows in the footsteps of her activist parents by becoming an activist lawyer. Hugh Grant is in his element as George Wade, a real estate developer and playboy tycoon. When they are brought together by fate, they strike a deal that they believe would be in each of their respective best interests. Lucy will work for George as his chief counsel, while George promises not to apply the wrecker’s ball to her beloved Coney Island community center.
Unfortunately, as time passes, these two opposites begin to be attracted to each other. Just as fate contrived to bring them together, however, it appears that fate will also tear them apart. When Lucy discovers that George will be unable to keep his promise about the Coney Island community center, she gives him two weeks notice. Enter June Carter (Alicia Witt), also a Harvard Law grad and Lucy’s replacement. The luscious June quickly sizes up George Wade and sets her cap for him, causing Lucy to suffer pangs of jealousy of which she had been previously unaware.
There are no surprises in this formulaic film. Hugh Grant does his slightly wacky British turn, while Sandra Bullocks turns in another intelligently ditzy, infectious performance. It is the script and the direction, however, not the actors, that jettison this remarkably unfunny, romantic comedy. The laughs are few and far between. The dialogue is one dimensional and cartoonish. It fails to build a believable romance between the two main characters. Quite frankly, all the film does is waste the considerable talents of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullocks, as well as the viewer’s time. It is an unintelligent, pedestrian film that would otherwise have tanked but for its star power.

An absolute dud! This movie is poorly written, ineptly directed, and edited with no sense of comedy or continuity. I am a big fan of both Grant and Bullock, but I have to say that this is one of the WORST movies that I have ever seen!
