Nothing Special
Franz Patrick - wrote on 07/17/2008
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 …

I hate to say this but Mcdreamy left me dreaming inside the theater upon watching yet another disastrous RomCom. Everything was predictable and the characters were just plain annoying.

Well, where to start? The film itself isn't really that bad at all. It's just there isn't really anything memorable that stands out and you take away from the theatre.
So, I went with a big group of friends to see this one, and I really didn't mind the whole chick flick thing, because honestly I can go for a chick flick somedays. Anyway, I was really curious to see how Patrick Dempsey did on the big screen. I thought he gave a solid performance. There was some parts where the character was just really selfish and could have been viewed as a womanizer, but the character makes up for it later on down the line. But, Dempsey was solid, presented well, and charming. But, hell really when is he not?
Yeah I really don't have a lot to say on this one. Just a typical romantic …
