This plot is so transparent that to say it leads to an unexpected result is an insult to movie goers intelligence. Gee a gorgeous guy and a beautiful woman, what could the result of him trying to find love for her be? OOOh what a mind teaser.

Romantic Comedies are not made to blow the viewers mind. What do you want, all the happy couples to break up? Is your version more like this? "The unexpected twist is Gerard Butler rapes her!" ya! good time! idiot.

I think I have seen this one before, but when I saw it, it had Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd in it, Oh what that was a different movie, with pretty much the EXACT same plot, good to see that the wash, rinse, repeat still works in hollywood

Were this movie placed in the genre of psychological thriller, I may agree that its plot is too transparent for an enjoyable viewing; however, given the fact that it is a romantic comedy, and less, a comedy, it is not the result that matters but the journey. When critiquing a film, it is important to consider the genre, for each has its own structural formula that not only places it in its genre but also engenders its potential. Having said that, this movie promises a good laugh, but will indubitably lack any sort of epic quality.

Just another way Hollywood displays its lack of good writing. I am sure that this movie will sate those who enjoy such movies, it might even be good. But, I am a little tired of moves about beautiful people whinning about how hard it is to find love. I just wish that the writers of the press release would try a little harder, this was a little transparent for my tastes.

If you come out of this movie laughing and feeling happy for a while, what's the harm. I know Gerard and Katherine are going to make me giggle and your never too old for that. Why not take a friend along and have a fun time of it. Besides, who can resist G. Butler? Not I!!!!!
