This was pretty cute, with plenty of chuckles. It’s got the structure of a romcom, with some Vince Vaughn/Jon Favreau-ian shenanigans thrown in to keep things moving. Jon was probably the best part, while Kristin Davis was easily the most annoying.
I think it has as many boring/bad moments as it did funny ones. A lot of the scenes were based around a one, sometimes funny sometimes not, joke, and always went on too long. Vince’s one liners can only do so much for a boring scene.
Also it was embarrassing to watch Jean Reno in this, he is so much better. And I don’t know how to look at Kristin Bell and believe she’s a day over 16, so when she talks about sex and whatnot with Jason Bateman it’s a little odd. At least on Veronica Mars she was doing it with other teens.
In the end everyone learns a lesson about love and relationships and kisses and they have the happy ending. Duh. Glad I saw it for free, it’s not worth a movie ticket. A rental, or at least a Sunday afternoon on TBS.
