If like me, you've followed Jack Nicolson for years and want to check out everything he's ever done, simply pretend that you didn't read his name on this cast list - save two hours of your precious life as this lot are definitely not worth it, what is sadder is that they genuinely seem to think that they are!
Reece Witherspoon is as attractive as always but Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd must surely take equal honours as THE most boring men in Hollywood, let alone two hunks that Witherspoon's character would want to actually date!
She's supposed to a softball champ but since dropped from the National team hits a low spot and so baseball hot-shot (Wilson) gets her attention but she can't seem to make him commit to anything serious. Rudd plays a (yawn) businessman who is honest and true (bigger yawn) but is bogged down and hampered by his father's (Nicolson) dodgy dealings. If you're a sports fan, and are expecting some action, (I don't think) we see either sports champ actually playing, though there were some shots in/around/above a stadium or two.
Labelled as a rom-com, such pap would normally squeeze under my radar by a couple of hundred of miles but when there's almost no "rom" and even less "com" (which category does a lengthy argument/discussion about colour matching towels fit into?) then I should have gone with every instinct and avoided.
