An average movie

Since I kept hearing good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, I thought it was indeed not bad at all but it was still too pedestrian to become truly remarkable. You could feel that they tried to go a little further than the average movies in this genre but, that’s exactly what they did, they just went a little further but not much more, I’m afraid. It was like the tone, they tried to make it a little bit darker but it was still too sweet to be taken seriously. Still, Keri Russell was quite charming and I was actually quite impressed by Nathan Fillion. Indeed, I’m not really familiar with this actor but I thought he was pretty convincing as a romantic lead. Still, I didn’t really get what was going on with his wife. I mean, during the whole thing, you don’t see her, nobody really talks about her but, suddenly, at the end, she pops-up for a few seconds and she actually seems to be quite nice. Concerning Jeremy Sisto’s character, it was even worse. I mean, Sisto is a fine actor but his character was so annoying, he was such a douche-bag, it was just cringe-inducing. Still, even though it wasn’t as original as I was hoping for, it remains a decent romantic-comedy and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
