A fun no-brainer that successfully casts a sweet romantic spell.

No laughs in this one at all. Who decided to write a movie about a club designer? Boring concept, no chemistry.

Shows how love leads away from reason into the mysteries of the heart.

A fairly typical formulaic rom-com. While it was fairly inoffensive and I quite like Perry and Hayek, it seems really dated for a film only 13 years old now and it is terribly dull.

"You will never know love unless you surrender to it". My main reason for renting this movie was because I started to watch Friends and Matthew Perry was hilarious in it so I decided to get this, and you know what I was ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY not dissapointed. You know it was still the same type of movie Matthew
