- It's a comment on modern manners that a romantic comedy should involve a gold-digging woman and a cynical divorce lawyer, but there's stylish amusement to be found.

  It was okay but not great.
  
  As a George Clooney fan I thought this was just okay. Storyline wasn't all that and the end result disappointing really.
