Title: Doesn't Work
Review: This is a movie about a cougar romance that comes into conflict on the eve of the cougar's wedding. Sounds like the perfect set up for a romantic comedy, eh? Unfortunately, this is neither romantic nor funny.First, the couple has NO chemistry. Uma is too mature (I mean that in mannerisms, not looks) to ever have fallen into a frivolous relationship with this guy. They go through the motions, but he looks like a complete boy. She looks like she's in a totally different class and stage of life. The two have nowhere to meet- not even in lust. So, that doesn't work.I could go on with example after example to illustrate what went wrong, but then I'd spend more time on the review than it took to watch it. Bottom line is that the story tries to be clever, real, and emotionally moving, but you can see the writer's wheels turning in his head. If you can see the story, you don't feel it.
Is the review positive or negative?
