agilebritNow, normally, when our local reviewer gives a movie a star and a half (out of four), that means we'll either like it a lot, or it'll really suck. Unfortunately, this time it sucked.
Dudes, if you want to sell a romance, then (a) your stars have to have more chemistry than these two did; (b) you have to have a script that actually works; (c) your pairing really needs to interact more at the beginning of the movie, instead of having your female half sleeping all the way across a trans-Atlantic flight; (d) if there's a major plot point involving a big reveal that the audience is supposed to know but a character doesn't...it might help if you revealed it to the audience a little more obviously than they did.
It might also help if the male star talked in more than a monotone during the entire movie. Dermot Mulroney is teh hott...but that's all he is. I'm not sure he can act. At all. Since this is all I remember seeing him in.
Blah. I can only hope that "Hitch" is better.

Wait, have you seen a Will Smith movie?
Well, at least Lost was good.
