Bill's Comments

This is another cute romantic comedy that Meg Ryan has done so well over the last many years --- perhaps too many. Historically, I have enjoyed Meg in these type films very much. I liked the story line in this one and I liked the supporting cast very much. Hugh Jackman was excellent as the romantic lead and Breckin Meyer does a great job as Meg's brother. My only problem - and it may be only MY problem - was that Meg Ryan didn't seem right to me. Either her heart wasn't in it, or she's gotten too old for these roles, but she just wasn't as good as she was in all the other ones. The movie was enjoyable and I liked everything but Meg. Go see it just to find out if I'm being too hard an Meg.
