Despite some bad reviews I read, this is an enjoyable Romantic Comedy.
The premise is rather simple. There is a twist but you may guess it from the beginning of the film.
The movie has a nice, pleasant cinematography and a good soundtrack to go with it.
The script is very good with a clear theatrical tone (this movie could well be a play) and the performances of some veteran actors are beyond criticism.
Colin Firth is the one who holds the movie on his shoulders though. It's not for an Oscar nomination but I could not think of another leading man to deliver a certain degree of cynicism and arrogance but still be likable and maybe even gallant.
Emma Stone is OK but another leading lady could be more suitable.
I'm not a big Woody Allen fan but this is more enjoyable than, let's say, Midnight in Paris. Less original, but more enjoyable.
Overall: Good enough to check it out especially if you are a female, or with a female company.
