    Easily resistable

    A romantic comedy starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, it can't be too bad, I thought. I was wrong. This is so awful I can't see how Gellar could possibly have become involved with it. It starts off ok, but gets dafter and dafter as weird things start happening whenever Gellar's character cooks. The romance is entirely unconvincing and the whole thing is sickly and by the end really quite irritating.

    One of the worst films ever!

    I love Buffy, so thought I'd watch this, and it's really, truly awful. It makes no sense, the storyline is completely unbelievable and you just feel sorry for the actors having to be in it.

    surreal fun!

    This film is hilarious in a surreal totally random kind of way!!! It is not by any means a serious (if a rom com can be that!) chick flick,but is so bizarre it becomes hilarious! I laughed untill I cried at this wonderful pastiche to the genre.

    Fairy story

    This is a film to get lost in, a love fantasy to loose your self, Girl gets her Man in the end who cares if Magic is the reason. I thought it was great.

    Cheesy sums this up

    This film is not for everyone. I saw it with my sister and she thought it was crap. However if you want a film that is super cheesy and is easy watching I recommend this film. Its a great Sunday afternoon film.

    Magic Crabs!!!!

    OK, this is a sweet enough romcom, very girly and cute. Good candyfloss for the brain, but I just couldn't get over the fact that it contains a MAGIC CRAB!!! I'm not quite sure what on earth the writer was doing when s/he came up with the idea, but I'm not entirely convinced it didn't involve illegal substances.

    Wonderful film

    A wonderful romance set to a delightful soundtrack. Outside of Buffy, this is one of Gellar's strongest performances to date.

    Simply Irresistible

    Ah I loved this film! Yes it was a bit daft but it was all about the magic of love and fate! Whether you believe it to be nonsense or not, it was a great film to get lost in and you end the film with a fuzzy feeling and hope. Don't take it too seriously!!
