Light, Fluffy and Fun, 21 April 2009
8/10
Author: MiaBlythe from Canada

This film is a romantic comedy and it fulfills that purpose completely. Is it a deep film? No, but it is highly enjoyable. It was light and fluffy and exactly what I was looking for.

The only downside is that Uma Thurman gets BOTH Jeffery Dean Morgan and Colin Firth. Not fair.

In response to another comment about not using your analytical mind when watching. I would like to point out that in most romantic comedies the female character usually has to sacrifice part of her career in order to be with the man she loves. In this film however, she does not. Her career is not hindered by romance. This is a lovely change.
