I was looking for something to drone on in my headphones, while I went about cooking dinner. Audio turns to video in my head anyway, so i thought I'd try this romcom. I expected it to be a chick flick, and it was, but I didn't expect it to get as much of my attention as it did. I found myself chuckling at times, and actually laughed out loud a couple of time. It was the usual bad boy, and good girl formula, and the guy has to change, because he falls in love...but it was so well written, with unexpected and appreciated original dialogue, that I stopped what I was doing a few times, and watched the action on the TV. The two main characters were unknowns to me, but both did an excellent job. It was an unexpected treat, and lifted my spirits. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but it still leaves you with a better feeling that you had before you watched it. I recommend it for the laughs, and the message that it sends that life can sometimes be fun.
