How do you mess up a sure fire romantic comedy formula acted out by talented young actors? By making the characters completely idiotic and more importantly unlikable. Only thing that kept me from giving it a one was Reese Witherspoon. She's got charisma. Paul Rudd has it too, but the script wouldn't allow it to shine through. Don't bother with this one unless you're into mind numbing crap and wasting an hour and a half of your time thinking about how much better this movie could've been. You're better off checking out 40-year Old Virgin where Rudd plays a similar whining character but comes off as much more sincere, tongue in cheek, and actually funny. The physical comedy was a nice idea but seems a little misplaced and does nothing to distract from the incredibly crappy overly obvious dialogue. In fact, I recommend watching this movie with the sound off. The setups are completely obvious so you won't have any trouble following it and you'll get more laughs from Rudd's spastic facial expressions. If you want a good romantic road comedy with some smart, funny dialogue and God forbid, likable characters, try The Sure Thing.
