1. Did I enjoy it? NO
So someone came up with this oh so original story idea of a guy and a girl who can't stand each other as the story begins, but by the end of the movie fall in love. Oh and they have to pretend they're married so she can stay in the country by marrying an American citizen. The problem with so many chick flicks is they are unbelievably predictable, which is what a chick flick audience wants apparently. Now, a lack of originality can be forgiven if there are enough believable dramatic touches or perhaps great comedic ones. For the most part, this film doesn't have either. Oscar Nunez, known for his role in the TV series The Office, plays a very different role here, but I don't think it worked. The one person who had a number of funny moments that did pay off was Betty White. I would have liked to have seen a film based on her character, the crazy but lovable grandmother celebrating her 90th birthday. But, the focus is on the two leads, and aside from a chance to see a scene with Sandra Bullock in nothing but a bath towel, you're not missing much.
2. Would I watch it again? NO
Guys, only go to this if you're with a date who loves these kind of films. Girls, if your man is the one paying for it, knock yourself out.
