Wanted to give this a go....
...but if folk are looking for advice on spending the money,I have to say not worth theatre price.Matinee,maybe. Personally,cause I like clean movies, Hugh Grant and lightheartedness once in awhile,my personal rating is a GO. For a familiar concept , the script does have a few originalities. Nothing is thoroughly developed though. For some reason many jokes seemed just short of real hilarity. Hugh does always seem to play the same guy and I fear he is getting to old to venture into much else,although I thought he had the potential. SJP,I never got the appeal,but she did do fun and neurotic well here. It is true the pair didn't show any real chemistry,but were still enjoyable to watch. WHAT REALLY DISAPPOINTED ME:S.Elliot and M.Steenbergen have always been solid supporting actors,but they were totally wooden here. I felt like Elliot was just doing his job and Steenbergen was on delayed reaction drugs. I have never been let down by them in the past.Wow. mat or dvd.
