Stats: 2008. Starring Katherine Heigl & James Marsden. PG-13.
Background: As a James Marsden fan since his days on the short-lived ABC show Second Noah in the 1990’s, I really looked forward to this movie’s release. My sister Stephanie and I saw it opening weekend; I went to it again a few weeks later with my cousin Kate. Very rarely do I see a movie in the theater twice—when you do that, you’ve basically paid what it would cost for the dvd—so you know I must have liked it! I bought it shortly after it came out on dvd.
Reactions: I really struggled to pay attention to this movie when watching it today. I watched it a couple of times after I bought it, then I didn’t watch it again for several months. I enjoy the premise of this movie—OK, so I enjoy the premise of most romantic comedies. I think what gets in the way of my enjoying this movie is my severe dislike for Katherine Heigl. There’s just something about her . . . plus, she and James Marsden don’t really have much chemistry.
Verdict: Sell? (Here’s my dilemma. I really enjoyed this movie once upon a time. Would I like it more if I waited a while to watch it again? Would I regret selling it? I’m torn.)
***Update 8/30/09: I just listed it on half.com. So go buy it!
***Update 9/1/09: Purchased for $3.21. (It's great if I don't think of what I paid for it initially!)
i like the scene where they are dancing & singing in the bar. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite scene! I'm beginning to wonder if I should have kept the movie ... I guess I can always get it from Netflix if I feel the need to watch it again!
