This movie surprised me. I was expecting to be in pain most of the time from the trailers I saw for it. In fact, I went just to be nice to my wife. Once it got rolling, I started laughing.
I found it pretty funny and generally enjoyable. Billy Crystal co-wrote it and he also had a role. I thought he did a good job and the humor was pretty typical for him. The acting was decent Ð nothing that will win any awards, but decent. Without a doubt, the casting was perfect! John Cusack was right at home playing a burnt-out movie star and Julia played the perfect soft-spoken assistant. The character development was great.
The story is one that held my attention. Overall, I think this movie is a decent romantic comedy. Nowhere close to Family Man or Fools Rush In, but worth seeing if you have to ;) |
