Negative Positive
Title: Lacklustre
Review: I like both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart but they don't come across well in this film. She's stiff and unlikable, and he just doesn't fit the role of a passionate, opera-loving chef. Neither actor is helped by the fact that this movie isn't quite sure what it wants to be. It jumps haphazardly from drama to cliched scenes of pillow fighting and a particularly banal clip of a desperate Zeta-Jones interviewing a quick succession of odd looking people for a chef's job, which I assume was meant to be funny. Frankly I'm surprised it's tagged as a romantic comedy as there was very little to laugh about or find lovey dovey, although I did I cringe a few times.I watched this movie on cable and I'm glad I never paid for the privilege. It's predictable Hollywood guff.
Is the review positive or negative?
