Although this movie is somewhat lacking in narrative substance, there is little in the way of subtext and back-story, and the cinematography is less than inspired, Renee Zellweger's performance as a charming, clumsy, slightly overweight guileless waif who strives vainly to be oh-so-sophisticated and sensible about love is genuinely emotionally engaging. She turns a basically two-dimensional character into one who really matters to us and with whom we can unashamedly identify. She brings to mind Audrey Hepburn's performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's not a great film by any means, but it is a film that made me feel happy and hopeful. And these days, that's saying quite a bit.
But what do I know? I'm in love with Renee Zelweger.
