What was this crap? It was so boring...and so bad. I can't believe I actually paid money to rent this. I thought since I'd heard such good things about the film, that I'd finally be in for a good romantic comedy. Wrong.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, may be beautiful...but can she act? So was she British or American in this one? I couldn't tell because of both the accents she had. OK. She's American...oh wait, I guess she's English. Oh no...she's American again. What the hell?! By the time I finally figured out which one she was, she changed it again.
And George Clooney. Well, let's just say that he should stick to directing, or playing more serious characters, rather than the silly one he tried to portray in this one.
Billy Bob Thornton was good...but come on? How hard is it for Billy Bob to do a southern accent? The movie itself was a disaster. It had a good idea...but on screen it totally lost its charm. The writing was good...however again, it lost a lot on screen. The directing could have been a lot better to be honest. I think that's partly why the film was so bad. It lost a lot of its charisma from the lack of inspiration given by the director. But, that's just a theory.
I personally wouldn't recommend it. It does have a few humorous parts. Although I can honestly say I don't remember laughing once. There are only two good scenes, the first of the two is the opening.
And, the only other positive thing I will say about the film, is that it does keep you guessing a little. There were two times, when the film actually surprised me. However, this doesn't make up for it being as bad as it was.
