  Quite good
  
  This film was okay. A little predictable but well done. I liked the lead characters and it ends well. A little corny.

  Mindless
  
  The only redeeming feature of this movie was Geena Davis' smile..(or Michael Keeton's, depending on your outlook).

  fair but a little predictable........
  
  Good for a soggy afternoon maybe - but only just - a bit too American as you can't really identify with the protagonists.

- Pleasant but unmemorable romantic comedy, cynical about politics and sentimental about love.
