I keep telling my friends I'm bummed that I've probably seen every (good) sappy rom com at this point so I was surprised when one of them brought this one up, which I had never heard of. Even more surprising when it's apparently the movie that led to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl terminology, which I am familiar with. In any case, I personally really liked it. It reeks of the early 2000s but in the best of ways and has all the delightful sappiness of the rom-coms of that era. Sure, the story is full of holes and requires extreme suspension of disbelief and the characters are nothing but superficial, but the whole thing sells it very well, especially thanks to Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst who are doing a great job with what they were given. Recommended for fans of the genre!
