An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for romantic-comedies, I thought I might as well give it a try. Personally, I think that Anna Faris is actually pretty talented, she has a very good comic timing and doesn’t look at like super-model which is quite refreshing (however, they still managed to show her as much as possible in her underwear in this movie). So, there is definitely something appealing about her but I wonder if she will ever manages to recover the damages made by those ‘Scary Movie’ flicks (‘The House Bunny’ didn’t help either). Anyway, she was pretty good in this, also Chris Evans, even though he didn’t have much to do here. Eventually, they both had some good chemistry, their characters were interesting but, unfortunately, the plot was rather weak. Basically, it is one of those rom-coms with a high concept (chasing your ex hoping to find true love) and it was rather underwhelming. It would have been so nice to see those characters evolving naturally without the constraints of the genre (for example, as soon as we see Chris Evans, you know they will fall in love but the movie makes you wait an eternity before anything happens). To conclude, even though the whole thing was rather flawed, I still think it is actually a decent romantic-comedy and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
