Title: Shouldn't a comedy be funny?
Review: I am very surprised by all the good reviews here for this film. I sat there waiting for something to happen, but for the entire thing it was just unfunny. I cared nothing about the characters played by Bullock and Grant. I went in hoping that it would be the caliber of writing of someone like Richard Curtis on Notting Hill or Love Actually (two terrific Hugh Grant films), but this was just a complete waste of time where you want those hours of your life back. I noticed Bullock's name as a producer. I hope this doesn't mean she fudged with the script to make it "funny" in her mind. (Anybody remember when actress Kim Basinger complained that the writer of the script for her film Marrying Man had no conception of comedy and she decided to rewrite it? The writer she was complaining about was Neil Simon.)
Is the review positive or negative?
