    it's watchable

    I'm not going to say too much, as there isn't much to say.

    Firstly, there was no chemistry between Uma Thurman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, or Uma and Colin Firth for that matter. Actually, the only two that had any kind of chemistry was Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Colin Firth.

    I don'...( read more)t like Uma Thurman, the only things that I like her in are Quentin Tarantino movies, otherwise she's absolutely horrible. Colin Firth was probably the strongest actor, but he kept bothering me because he had a weird look on his face.

    It wasn't very funny, two lines, I think got an almost-chuckle out of me, but you know, if you can count how many times you laugh, that's not a good thing.

    So my main complaint is the complete lack of chemistry. I hate romantic movies anyway, but you can't like them if there's no chemistry. I always thought it would've made more sense for Uma and Colin to stay together and Jeffrey to go back to Vanessa from Six Feet Under (can't remember her name in this).

    I will add, if you watched it/want to watch it for the same reason I did, then it is worth watching.

    Yes, it's another typical chick-flick rom-com, but its still entertaining! I love Jeffrey Dean Morgan because his charm always radiates across the screen. So if you're gonna watch this film for any reason, watch it for him! Plus, its one of his rare characters; he doesn't die pre...( read more)maturely for once!

    For Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a fireman, for Colin Firth being funny, tragic and heartbreaking, for a great cameo by Rossellini and for seeing Thurman floundering in this dire romcom, struggling with a dull character and failing miserably to do slapstick. Not romantic and not comedic.

    Hilarious movie! Interesting story plot that follows the lives of a self-help doctor and a city firefigther when one intervenes into the life of the other and dramatically changes everything. The other is set on changing the life of that very person. Great cast- Uma Thurman, Jeff...( read more)rey Dean Morgan, Sam Shepard, Isabella Rossellini, Ajay Naidu, and Sarita Choudhury all star in the romantic comedy by Griffin Dunne. Great music by A. R. Rahman. Definitely worth seeing.
