Nothing Special

I wanted to really like this movie but in the end I thought it was just okay. It started off pretty well up until the extended twenty minutes or so when all the characters visited Scotland. From then on, it just got exhausting and cliches started piling on top of one another (and the comedy toned down a bit). Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan had chemistry but the way these characters were torn apart again and again and ultimately got together (come on, it's a romantic comedy; you knew how it was going to end!) did not feel right. The pacing was somewhat slow so it felt longer than an hour and forty minutes. If I were to pick a favourite character, I'd say it's Busy Philipps even though her character was detestable in some ways. She was basically the edgiest. If one had seen the previews, one would pretty much know what was going to happen. This is a nice movie when it's playing on television but I don't recommend people to run and see it on theaters. It's a waste of ten bucks.
