Negative Positive
Title: Nothing to write home about, but fun and zany.
Review: Ok, the premise of the movie is pretty canned, and some ideas/montages downright dumb or silly, but the overallpresentation is a bit out of the box and humorous. The moviemoves at a brisk pace, and uses and lambasts a lot of cliches about marriage. One would think the comedy would be predictable, but it manages to create an off-beat edge that tickles. Supporting characters, including the older actors,keep things diverse or outright wacky. Zellweger brings a pouting charm while O'Donnell is pure naivety and his fat side-kick delivers some good laughs. Again, the movie is a success on it's own terms because of the brisk pace that stays consistently outrageous and doesn't get stuck in any plodding emotional exposition, sentimentality, or melodrama. Fun flick.
