The movie has characters a little bit twisted which you would expect from a script from James L. Brooks, other than that, everything was quite predictable.Jack Nicholson gave a very "normal" performance and Owen as well. Paul and Reese made an effort, but wasn't that special either.
I don't know why, but I'm a sucker for Reese Witherspoon, so in the end I enjoyed it no matter what.
Wouldn't recommend though.
