Not a DVD buy but is worth a few hours of time.

"LESS IS MORE" And I think this movie really would have been much better if it stuck with that. And Harry Conick Jr. character was way too creepy! And why would Hilary Swank go for a creepy guy after what she just had?! Kathy Bates gets lost in this movie as well.

I expected it to be a complete "chick flick" but it was too well developed to call it that...and not as "happy" as I had expected it to be. While not typically someone who sheds a tear at movies, I shed many at this one. Hillary Swank did a great job -- surprisingly, she was perfect for the role. Really pulls you in emotionally - and makes the character seem like a "real" person. The only thing I would change about the whole movie -- nix Lisa Kudrow and Harry Conick, Jr. Not a fan of Lisa (can she act outside of her Friends role??) I love Harry - but his character wasn't someone I could even imagine the main character being attracted to. No charm...kinda freaky, actually. It is an enjoyable movie, tho! Just have tissues ready.

I have a particular disdain for most romantic comedies, yet I tend to give them more positive reviews than I want to, because I try to judge it using the conventions established by the genre-more of a "as romcoms go, how is this one?" If I didn't, I'd give most of them terrible reviews. Of course, I think that's not always the best way to do things either, because I've given positive reviews to romcoms like "Because I Said So" and "Monster-in-Law," which are both movies I have looked back on and said "why in the world did I do that?" Nothing like critic hindsight.

He seems to dislike the genre of fluffy/teary chick flicks rather than this particular one. I admit it's an acquired taste, but this is a fairly good example, imho. A bit too long perhaps. I give it 2.5 stars out of four. Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:13:09 -0500 http://www.indy.com/posts/2979#comment_9228 http://www.indy.com/posts/2979#comment_9228
