An average movie

More than 10 years ago, thanks to ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, Katherine Heigl finally got her major break-through and she got pretty lucky that the first movie she made afterwards, ‘Knocked Up’, was a box-office hit. Unfortunately, all the movies she made afterwards were increasingly disappointing and, nowadays, her once promising career seems pretty much ruined. This movie is a perfect example. Indeed, even though it was a box-office success, it received some really poor reviews. In fact, even though I had some really low expectations towards the damned thing, I have to admit that it actually had some potential. Of course, it was an average romantic comedy with the usual clichés, lame jokes and it was rather predictable but when Gerard Butler gave his speeches on TV, it was actually working and I couldn't help laughing. Eventually, if they would have gone all the way in this direction, with a very cynical, slizzy bastard guy, it could have been pretty neat. Of course, they didn't, instead, they chickened out and gave us this rather boring flick. To conclude, even though the damned thing actually had some potential, it was a rather weak romantic comedy and I don’t  think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a fan of the genre.
