Title: Wanted to love it and couldn't
Product review: Great concept, lots of potential, just didn't pull together all that well. I liked it, but I really wanted to love it and just couldn't. Seemed choppy and disjointed, and for this type of film it should have flowed much smoother and had the laughs more consistent. It was pretty flat until the last 20 minutes, when they pull all of the stops and go for broke with great results. Hugh Grant was fabulously smarmy, Chris Klein played the patheticness of his character to the hilt, and Mandy Moore's shrieking was like nails on the chalkboard. Loved the terrorist addicted to showtunes angle, and yes, everything in this movie was a prime target for lampooning. Amused as all get out that people felt the need to walk out of this film.
