    Great Romantic comedy really different

    I often sit back and watch a chick flick with my wife, I also reluctantly book them from here trying to find one that would be enjoyable for me also to some small degree. I think I can't be the only one so if you do this then you will enjoy this. It's querky funny and off beat. This film has mad characters with some depth which isn't the norm. I think it's a must see in the genre.

    Soooo Funny

    I really didn’t think this film was going to be anything special as previous reviews weren’t really raving about it. But I have to say I really enjoyed it.

    It was funny and romantic.

    I like Ben Wilson as an actor.

    The plot was good and had an unexpected twist.

    Defiantly worth watching.

    It’s one for both the guys and the girls. It will make you wonder where it’s actually going??? Watch it to find out!

    A nice little gem...

    Overall a good film, but I'm not sure whether I rate Luke Wilson as a good actor or not, I don't think he has the comedy timing of Owen Wilson. Denise Richards is as bad as ever, but great performances from Ben Affleck (yes, really) and Jay Lacopo as Phil. Shame the chemistry didn't really fly between Richards and Wilson so only giving this one 3 stars

    humerous moments

    not to bad has some funny moments + great to hear a classic hip hop track at end of film by young mc(gains a extra star)

    An enening's watch

    I found the film reasonably good and quite funny in places however I cringed a bit at the unbelievable antics. The song at the end was very good indeed

    Not bad, certainly watchable

    This was one of those better movies of the mediocre range. I wasn't gripped but it didn't put me to sleep either!

    I did enjoy it, and the humour didn't go over the top.

    I certainly didn't expect the twist at the end.

    I would recommend you watch this if you enjoy gentle comedies, with a sweet romance.
