whoa, that's bad

I guess I'm picky when it comes to comedies, I have this strange need for them to be funny. This movie did not come anywhere near meeting the criteria. Many of the scenes were hammy and resembled something from a low budget modern "National Lampoon" movie. Cameron Diaz's commitment to her over the top emotional scenes just made her look foolish in context, but that wasn't any worse than Kutcher not even trying for most of his, but at least he seemed somewhat aware of the tanker he was riding. I'm very tired of movies having a series of goofy pointless scenes, slapping on a mushy ending,(in this case completely implausible) and calling it a romantic comedy. Make me laugh, then call it a comedy. The best two scenes came after the credits have started, I expected better from these two.
