what striked me as surprising in this romcom is the sincerity on how the screenwriters sketched these characters...not in the "i am here take me...i am the love of your life" but on the more realistic as you can get in screen...sure there's the usual laws of romcoms in here...boy get dump, boy get bad date, boy meet girl, boy-girl falls in love....but in the mid-points of this you get not actors but real people with their real emotions...case in point, after a meeting with ex, boy runs to "friend"'s house, instead of the usual crying and lets get to sex, its more like "i am here to help you" kinda vibe...which is refreshing....of course, you wanna take your romcoms with a grain of salt, but this one really trully uplifted the lameness that crosses the movie landscape (yes, i am talking to you elizabethtown!). the players: the star of numb3rs and milla "resident evil", and ex-mrs sheen all do excellent work...specially i was really feeling good that the leads had an awesome chemestry. you can feel it in the air...and funny thing, supporting cast...one of the balwins (awesomely bad boy with a love for his brother), and the friends of the lead (sorry i didnt caught their names) played pretty good as matchmakers...all in all, you're not going to take this for an oscar marathon, but surely right there in the top 10 romcoms in my list...
