Sadly Over-hyped

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I stated to watch this movie seeing the crew despite this low rating. A review helped me saying it's not actually a rom-com rather a romantic drama.If you're in a comedy mood then you'll be disappointed. Watch this movie as a drama. It has good pace in it, not too slow.I liked this movie very very much. This movie has genuine script which is very refreshing. Acting was good. Definitely Watchable movie.

Ok, so I went into this thinking- The ratings are pretty bad, but then again how bad can a movie with Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon be? Oh, and Owen Wilson. And i was right. Granted, it was no Notting Hill, but then again most romantic comedies aren't. I would even go as far as to say that this movie has been wrongly characterized and is more of a romantic movie with a couple of chuckles. While the plot and character development could've used just a little fixing up, I'm glad this movie was made, and I'm glad I had the chance to see it.

Just a quick note simply because this movie has such a low rating. I watched it because Reese is in it expecting something rather lame according to IMDb but I give it a 9 out of 10 easily. It's an excellent film with great pace, even for such a long film, excellent acting and intelligent script. It's slightly predictable but what love story isn't?I totally do not understand the low rank on IMDb. Reese is super cute, even with her dorky smile with top jaw pulling out like an alien. ha ha. Will watch this again in the future. Hope this review helps someone make a small adjustment to making their afternoon matinée work. he he

This was all over the place, back and forth, going nowhere and ultimately without an ending. I don't really know what this movie was trying to achieve. It did start out alright, different than I was expecting anyways, with a fun ensemble cast and a storyline that wasn't the usual rom-com crap. And while I'm not usually a fan of Reece Witherspoon I didn't mind her here, she looked beautiful and her storyline surrounding being cut from the National softball team because she was past her prime was at least interesting. I also enjoyed Owen Wilson in his playboy pitcher role, he had some funny lines. It was nice to see Jack Nicholson again too -where the hell has he been lately? As the movie progressed though it just seemed to stall out, with Reece sporting a perpetually confused expression as she evaluates her life, moving in with 'Matty' moving out again, then entering into a love triangle of sorts with 'George' a cooperate guy in turmoil who she has zero chemistry with, plus he's acting like a lunatic.There were also many scenes involving catching the bus, why was everyone on the bus? And then the movie just ends without resolving any of the story lines. The credits roll you go huh?? And then think to yourself, what a waste of time. 10/13/14
