This movie gave me a headache. The first half hour was
mostly screaming and overacting.
On the heels of that note, I have a confession to make. For
as popular as Meg Ryan is, and as well known as she is, I’m not familiar with
her work. In fact, I have never seen any of her movies. If I did, then I don’t
remember. If this movie was any indication of her overall acting talent, I’m
not sure I’m interested in seeing them, but I believe everything deserves two
chances. Everyone has an off day or a bad project; everyone makes mistakes. So
I can’t, in good standing, write her off just yet.
Eventually, the movie does get slightly interesting, but
continues to flop hard as a comedy. I didn’t so much as giggle once during the
entire film. However, while trying to figure out what I would categorize it as
I couldn’t pick another category, either. Maybe it’s a drama, kind of, not
really. So I can’t really complain about the genre chosen. I think that was as
good a guess as any.
I wasn’t impressed.
Overall Opinion – 2/5
