I was going to go and see this right away on its initial release because for some reason I was convinced I’d love it. I’d just seen Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair remake which I absolutely loved, and I’ve always loved Julianne Moore, and I thought it’d be fascinating to see them doing what amounts to a romantic comedy (especially a slightly silly one – I loved Julianne Moore letting her hair down in Evolution).
It’s definitely very funny in places, and Brosnan and Moore make all those funny parts funnier than most would, but there’s a lot missing in terms of story. And the last line of the movie is the worst I’ve heard in a long time. I honestly couldn’t believe I’d heard something so bad when I heard it, because except for that line, the movie is overall above average for its kind.
