Loathsome waste of time, 27 June 2011
Author: mesoke from United States

From the sound technician to the female lead, this was by far the most unprofessional, poorly put together film ever put on video. Why on earth is it being tucked into RedBoxes and being treated as a new release? We see the name Bradley Cooper and think, "Ah what the heck, a little romantic fluff on a Sunday afternoon". WRONG!

While I think the female lead is a lovely girl, her acting was.... well, it just wasn't very good. Wooden describes her well. The carefree insouciance she is supposed to project falls completely flat.

Everything about this DVD was awful, and I still can't figure out why on earth I allowed it to play in it's entirety. I guess hope springs eternal, and I kept hoping it would suck less, but it never did. Awful, awful movie. I'll never get those two hours of my life back.
