7/10
Very enjoyable movie
4 September 2009
Well, I see that this movie isn't getting good reviews from everyone. But I love going to movies every Friday, and I figured with Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper, this movie couldn't be all that bad. I went to the first showing of the day and found a packed theater. If you enjoy a romantic comedy or just a comedy, you will enjoy this movie. No, it's not spectacular, and no, it won't win any Oscars, but it has plenty of laughs and fun moments. Sandra Bullock plays Mary, a crossword puzzle writer who claims to have her own apartment but actually still lives with her parents. She talks non-stop and is a walking encyclopedia. Her parents have fixed her up on a blind date, which she expects to be with a loser, but guess who shows up - Bradley Cooper, who plays Steve, a TV cameraman. She makes a poor impression on him before his car even leaves the front of her house, but she mis-interprets his feelings and begins following him around on his assignments. It's pretty much prat-fall comedy. Just light-hearted movie. I could tell that everyone else in the theater was enjoying it too, and we all left in a good mood. It's not really a "chick" movie - there is plenty for the men to enjoy too. So if you want some pretty simple but fun entertainment, this is a good movie to see. I'm glad I ignored the one review that was here before mine and went to see this movie anyway.
