Some things I liked some I did not.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Nia Vardalos and John Corbett had chemistry in My Big Fat Greek Wedding like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail. To my greatest dismay, their chemistry was off in this film.Nia plays the flower shopkeeper who everyone loves - but she wears a smiley facade as well as any scarf or dress she owns. John Corbett, the suave-but-not-too-handsome tapas-restaurant owner who needs a pick-me-up in life, works down the way. The problem - flower shop girl does not believe in love and tries to teach her friends and fellow business owners her 5-step-plan to have the perfect dating relationship.Although this movie had the elements for a funny love story and the actors were suited for the part, the aspect of funny was muddled by the deeper emotional baggage divorce causes than the movie could handle.

My only hesitations about writing a review is first, I watched it, and second, I did not have a zero stars choice.Based on the Supreme Court definition, this movie is pornography, i.e., totally without redeeming social value. On the other hand, I should move to Brazil because someone gave it four stars. What is in the water there?Who is Nia Vardalos? She "starred" in, wrote and either she is a gillionaire who financed this movie, or has a very rich husband/lover who put up the money, or has friends whom everyone should have.The movie is totally inane. On the other hand, presumably, it provided employment for a whole bunch of people in a time of economic need. So I guess I can justify one star after all.

Only two things are missing in this movie to make it great. A director and a script. Since Nia Vardalos was involved in both she probably needs to stick to Greek Weddings.It's not that as a guy, I don't like romantic comedy's. I do. But as a film it was not only predictable, but repetitive. How many "walking dialog" scenes can a movie have?Characters had no continuity. Characters weren't established very well. The script rambled.I wish I could find some positive attributes for this movie, but I'd have to lie. Sorry...

This really isn't terrible as some people are claiming it to be, yeah it isn't a great romantic comedy but it isn't a boring one either. So it's basically about a girl named Genevieve Gernier who has this philosophy of never dating more than five times and never keeping a long term relationship until she meets a guy named Greg Gatlin who owns a restaurant near her flower shop. And yes these 40 yr old protagonists who acts immature and stupid at times, but it didn't get to the point of it getting so very annoying. I personally think it's cause of the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" which is probably a better romantic comedy that Genevieve Gernier is in is why this film is probably taking a lot of bashing for. Anyways yeah it's silly, it's stupid, and it's unrealistic, but I personally didn't think it was terrible and it did have it's moments. I mean I was entertained for most of it, despite it's flaws.5.8/10
