“Just got back from the theater–walked in the door and turned on the computer–and am in agony! I was really excited about this movie and looking forward to seeing it ever since the previews came out. But, boy!, was I disappointed. All of the cute stuff (and pretty much the only cute stuff) was contained in those previews.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is nothing original, and nothing funny enough or well-acted enough to make its unoriginality interesting. Jennifer Aniston did a decent job, given what she had to work with (though she does act like she does in most of her other movies). But the writing wasnu0026#39;t good, and the plot was weak and all over the place. Most everything you see, youu0026#39;ve seen before–just done better somewhere else–and all of it combined into something very hodgepodge. Itu0026#39;s like the storywriters just took a u0026quot;pinch of thisu0026quot; and a u0026quot;dash of thatu0026quot; from various comedies, romances, and action adventures, and tried to make a soup out of them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe music was so bad Iu0026#39;m even giving it its own paragraph. I had no idea the music would make such a difference, normally I donu0026#39;t notice itu0026#39;s even there. Not so on this one! It was often agonizingly out of place, where you had to wonder what the score writers were thinking, or why they picked the song they did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI left twice for the concession stand, and didnu0026#39;t even care to ask what had happened while I was gone. There were times I found that I was even having to remind myself to pay attention to the dialogue. As I donu0026#39;t go to the theater often, itu0026#39;s usually a treat to me, and most of the time I enjoy whatever Iu0026#39;m watching simply because itu0026#39;s relaxing and a chance to be out. But for once I was actually bored. It was about the quality of a TV show, but unfortunately lasted the length of a full movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe romantic/action with husband and wife fighting-yet-finding-they-might-still-love-each-other plot has been done before much better. u0026quot;Mr and Mrs Smithu0026quot; was GOOD. u0026quot;Foolu0026#39;s Goldu0026quot; was decent. u0026quot;Bounty Hunteru0026quot; was just downright poor. So disappointing!”
