So let me get this straight-this isn't a remake of "My Best Friend's Wedding?
We are supposed to believe they are best friends from college?
I'm so sick of this sexist crap from Hollywood.
This is one movie I will not be seeing.
"alledgedly gorgeous" and "supposedly good-looking"--yep, our Stephanie has nailed the overhyped overpraised "Dr. McDreamy" Dempsey. Even though I'm a guy, I can usually appreciate that the men most swooned over by hordes of female fans are in fact handsome, good-looking people--the Brad Pitts or George Clooneys of the world. But I never could understand the appeal of this Dempsey character. He's just not very attractive, seems to me. And more importantly, he's a lousy actor.
Of course even if the star of this movie were actually gorgeous and genuinely good-looking, it wouldn't help much, if Stephanie's take is correct. Sounds like one more boring, trite "comedy" which should have never got the green light.
I hardly ever wander over to the entertainment section of Salon with the intent to post, but I feel the need to add my voice to the chorus who are so completely sick of these inane, predictable, badly acted "romantic" "comedies".
I get angry just having to sit through the preview where I see all I need to see: the (always) rich playboy; the cutesy-charming (younger) female; the quirky sidekicks, and the oh-so-obvious conclusion. Sounds like this piece of garbage trotted out every cliche ever used.
Frankly, the actors here must be better than we give them credit for- there's no way I could utter any of that dialogue without wincing...
The first time i saw an episode of Grey's Anatomy, I mentioned to my wife something like: "that guy's the boring, conservative woman's Sean Penn". Neither of us have seen anything to make us doubt that since.
