"do you want me to go over the fireplace?"
"no, i'm a city girl but i know how to light a fire. . . . where's the uh the switch?"
I enjoyed this movie and i usually detest romcoms.
this is well written, well acted, well edited and well directed. it has its charming moments and of course a few formulaic ones but all-in-all the cast and writing are so strong it works. great filming too. the music was fitting and the perfect punctuation to some scenes, especially that 10-second tune played as she raises the creative distress flag on her snow-wrecked car antenna. hilarious.
zellweger portrays a believable decisive corporate leader and brings great comedic timing and delivery to the role. i really enjoyed her in this -- she's a very strong lead and her humorous reactions at times reminded me of diaz in The Holiday. despite her corporate trained demeanor you sense a warmer spirit underneath if only it could be thawed, like keaton in Baby Boom.
connick, jr. delivers as always and the easy chemistry between the two makes their interactions relatable and interesting not cringey.
there are laugh out loud moments and only a spare amount of the sentimental romance stuff. and for a union girl like me this movie put the human back in human resources.
a delight.
6.5/10
