I liked this film. It was comfortable, a little predictable maybe but in theory good viewing for all of that. The only dischord seemed to be that the two main charachers ( Lopez and Fiennes ) just didn't create an ounce of sexual chemistry.

This film looked good on paper, two actors that are arguable very good at their craft, but they just didn't click on film.

I have seen both of these actors in other films (with different co-stars) and you could feel the heat coming off the TV or pulsing through an audience in a cinema.

I am afraid that with light weight films in the RomCom genre casting is EVERYTHING, and I just don't feel that they got it quite right.

Still a good film to while away an evening, but definately did not fulfill it's potential!!!!!
