    Good fun

    I almost didn't watch this as I had been told it is really boring, I'm glad I did though as it is not boring just silly.

    The story is nothing new, and if you watch a lot of American films you will have seen it dozens of times before, but the characters are funny and likeable. Charlize Theron is particularly nice in this film, so if you are a fan it is well worth viewing.
