I don't know why I found this movie so charming, but I did. Definitely a 'chick flic' but it made me a Carmen Diaz fan in under two hours LOL

1. I liked the movie except for Carmen Diaz
It was probably the best thing she's been in. But I still think she can't act.

2. Charming movie
I think the actors were mostly under utilized. I'm surprised that actors of that caliber did such a "fluffy" movie. It's sort of up Diaz's alley, but the others seldom do such light weight stuff.

3. This is the first movie I've seen Diaz in that she hasn't driven me nuts.
I love Kate Winslet and I fell in love with Jack Black. I saw this in the theater and loved it. We actually own it now on DVD.
