The Romantic comedy is a difficult genre, 11 May 2009

And, as such, the script cannot be left on the hands on two women.

Now, I'm willingly admit that a single woman would do better than two...

The movie lacks a tight narrative flow. There are too may detours like the Indian's party, which seem to be there to enliven the trivial story. This does not work, at all.

It is a pity that great actors like Uma Thurmann and others are wasted in such films.

I'm absolutely convinced that American viewer's are fed up with such trivia. It's just for Adolescents...
