I saw this and reminded me a lot of "What's Your Number", the movie with Anna Faris. At least some of the scenes did with the ex bf that's trying to be a Senator.

I saw this over the weekend. It was okay Paula Patton has relatively few dimensions as an actress IMO. Still, this is a very standart rom-com but still fun.

I thought this movie was awesome! Aside from the eye candy, I enjoyed the acting and the script. Paula Patton seem like a natural RomCom Starlet. She is charming, beautiful, slightly awkward and relatable. She is "that friend" who everyone knows.

The cast make the movie funny!

They could have advertised it more. She lit up the screen.

it was okay. i didn't think Paula was a good actress in this. maybe ROM COM is not her thing? her male gay friend made the movie! he was funny!

Hmm, I gotta say her supporting cast outshone her, IMO. I was distracted by how (for lack of a better word, please forgive me Lord, cos I know acting ain't easy) 'bad' she was. I didn't have the same reaction when I watched her in MI: Ghost Protocol.

I'm going to chalk it up to the director(s). And, maybe the fact that rom coms are far from my fave genre (and possibly hers).

That being said, I truly enjoyed Jill Scott's over the top character. I think the gay dude could have been a bit over the top too, but they chose to keep him 'contained' and that was fine. That last scene in the movie though? Wooooo....

Overall, not a bad movie. I wouldn't watch it again, but if someone wanted a movie that will make you laugh, cringe and root for the heroine (albeit a predictable heroine with predictable events around her), then this is one to watch.

And now, I have got to get off tPF and finish my writing. Gotta watch Scandal before bedtime...
