Cute, light, fluffy. This movie doesn't make any pretenses of being smart or provocative or intelligent. It's not going to be a classic, win any awards, or stay on anyone's "memorable" list for any length of time.
But it was fun, entertaining, standard escapist fare. Nothing wrong with that. Both Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman are good actors and are entertaining as a couple with fairly decent chemistry. The plot is fairly ludicrous, but the on-screen romance is fun. Bradley Whitford has a good small part as Meg Ryan's obnoxious boss - very different from the role he plays on the West Wing.
To quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, we can pretty much sum up this movie in two words: "Mostly Harmless".
