Don't listen to the negative reviews

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie positively SCREAMS 2005 from every frame. It is all of the silliest parts of cringe culture at that time with a generous dose of slapstick comedy. I am personally not a fan of either of those things, but thankfully Ryan Reynolds saved the day with his unique and hilarious style. Save the day may not be the right phrasing, because this is definitely one of the worst movies I have seen this year (2018).

A nostalgia educing romantic comedy about coming home and the pursuit of the one that got away. By this point this movie seems in no way original, the idea has been redone a million times, but even though this movie came out in '05 it has a kind of nostalgic 90's feel to it like the kind of ridiculous romantic comedies I used to watch as a teenager. I found it quite enjoyable, and it's family friendly too so everyone can enjoy...Pus, who wouldn't get a kick out of seeing Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit?

This movie lasts just 90 minutes and it's really boring and disconnected from reality. Who needs a romantic comedy that doesn't make you laugh and that it's not romantic at all? The whole plot is trivial and expect. I thought it to be special, but I was wrong. I rated it 3, just because the last 5 minutes are sufficient, but the rest would deserve 1 (awful). Life is not like that. I'm tired of people who produce movies just for money, writing down a plot that could seem beautiful, but it's not. The result is that the watcher feels offended. My final suggestion to you is to not waste your time watching this movie, just watch anything else, the world is full of wonderful movies!

I usually quite like romantic comedies, as they are a nice light entertainment after a stressful workday. This movie, however, was not enjoyable at all. The jokes were so predictable, and what is worse, several times during this movie I caught myself thinking "This cannot possibly get any more stupid" but I was proved wrong every single time. May be it would be a nice entertainment after a few drinks but in any other situation I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Unless you really feel the urge to throw away two hours of your life. The only positive aspect about this movie was the good-looking female main character :)
