6/10
It has a fresh look on things, but it's poorly made
25 April 2008
The jokes are not funny, the romance is unbelievable, the scenes are written by the very people the film is criticizing and, when at least you think the point of view is somewhat fresh, they bury it in clichés.

Michelle Pfeiffer is still cute, but she's forty. And that's what the movie is focused on. It's a romantic comedy for your mom. Paul Rudd makes the entire film worth it, although he doesn't have to do much except clown around like a horny kid. That's his role, you see, being incredibly young at 29. That means I am not ancient, either, yippee!

Bottom line: this could have been written a little better and achieved a much higher level of quality. As such, one feels almost nothing. It's a movie about human chemistry that has no chemistry.
