I was under impression that in a romantic comedy the viewer is supposed to like the leads. But both of the main characters are so unsympathetic they made me want to puke (the only part of the movie I could emphasize with). The man is a snivelling piece of snot, and the female character is basically defined by her obnoxiousness, which we are supposed to excuse because she's so cute. Just imagine a movie in which the gender roles where reversed, and the boy kept slapping and abusing his girlfriend? How would you expect that movie to end? Not with a loving reconciliation, that's for certain - more probably with the woman shooting her abuser - just look at the recent "battered wife" movies like "Enough" and "High Crimes".
