Background Info

Mr C seems to think that I have a little bit of a crush on Gerard Butler, and I am not so sure. I did like him in the other film we saw, but that is the complete opposite end of the spectrum to this - which is your basic romantic comedy.

Conclusions

Once again, I wasn’t expecting much and was completely surprised by what I saw. Yes, it was the standard rom-com, and yes they did start out hating each other and ended up loving each other but I was very impressed by the ratio of comedy to romance. I couldn’t stop laughing for ten minutes at a time. Loved it.
