MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Sarah Maleky Unfortunately I ended up accidentally watching this with my dad!! I felt embarrassed the whole freaking time. Bad acting, bad synopsis, zero chemistry between the two and scenes that even made JLo look pathetic! Could not believe for a second that that guy is actually gonna stay with her. Lying in bed, eating like a pig and burping... sorry no matter are you JLo or any other chick, there's no way a guy's gonna stay with you if you do it after being in in a relationship for such a short time. Yuck!All in all, another bad romantic comedy with Jenn and I'm kinda sorry for watching it so in short, don't bother or if you really want to see a bad bad movie, this is the one.I was sorry for the poor little doggy she doesn't even care about and I really don't understand the purpose of putting him into the movie. What the...?I rate it with the poorest grade and can't even imagine if someone finds ANYTHING from the movie funny. BAD BAD BAD!! :D
mary-mandaliou I watched it because of Alex O'Loughlin. And because of him, and because of some funny moments, it was not a waste of time. The idea is not bad, but it had too many things to say in only one movie, so they all were a little messy. It could be much funnier - since the movie is supposed to be a comedy. Anyway, it was an optimistic fairy-tail about relationships and ever-lasting love.J.Lo is OK - I like her. She is pretty and this kind of romance/comedy movies are a lot like her. But Alex O'Loughlin... He Rocks! He is genuinely cute and expressional, he really looks like "the nice guy" of the fairy-tail. I just cannot wait to see him do more, and better things.
hthbrr2 This movie was really bad! SPOILERS after this point: J.Lo is playing a woman that makes no sense, first off. She can't trust anyone. So how does she run her own business? Doesn't she have to trust her co-workers? What about every other thing in life? I guess she has no business with anyone, since she can't trust them! She can't eat at restaurants since she can't trust that they will get her order right. Yet she does all things a normal person does.If she was abnormal I would believe this plot. But since she has a job, has friends, social life, is happy, etc.... I just can't take that she has a severe mental problem of JUST not trusting guys. The story was that her father left her mother. And that you can't trust/rely on anyone. Sooooooo that means she has to be 110% crazy! She should be in a mental facility! Also the fact that this guy has this much patience makes no sense. I guess he is a non-existent person like Zoe! The water birth scene, among others, was JUST DISGUSTING! NOT funny or sense making, BUT JUST DISGUSTING.I am ashamed that I watched this movie!
Sherazade I can't believe that when I saw a poster for this movie years ago, I actually prayed for its success at the box office because I like JLo and love Alex O'Loughlin. Having just gotten around to actually seeing the flick, I am appalled. I mean, it's supposed to be a comedy but it's just not funny. JLO acts like she's trying so hard in this, the sidekicks are so stereotypically annoying it was painful to watch. Zoe, really? Let's not talk about the fact that it seemed like the who thing seemed like a super long advertisement for products and brands Gray Papaya, The Dog Whisperer, YSL, Christian Louboutin and what not. Maybe this film would have been forgive-able if it had come out back in the 90s when JLo did The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan and her other cheesy rom-coms. I recommend this only to people who are actually fans or a fan of one of the actors in the film.
