My Opnion I quite like romcoms, they are predictable usually but also funny and sweet which as long as there is good story to back it all up with can make them quite enjoyable easy viewing. Unfortuanately that is not the case here. I'd wanted to see this for some time and finally got round to watching today while recovering froma hangover. I'd seen a few clips of the film and looked quite fun and Josh Duchamel and Topher Grace are very easy on the eye so I was quite looking forward to it. This film actually made my hangover feel worse. It's described as a a romcom but therre really isn't anything funny about it, i couldn't even raise a grin. The storyline and plot are very poor indeed, there are no memorable lines anywhere in the film. As for the perormances, to be fair they didn't have a lot to work with but Kate Bosworth actually seemed a little wooden and none of the cast stood out . The whole experience was like pulling teth, i was going to turn it off but then I thought I would have to post a review on here telling everybody else not to waste an hour and a half of their lives watching this turkey.
