Romantic Comedy, Well Not Really, But A Comedy Nonetheless
8 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers Comedy is the unexpected and there was no way to expect the sudden twists and turns of this movie. Some of these unexpected things can put off the viewer, however. The first time Mary (Sandra Bullock) meets Steve (Bradley Cooper) she has such a need to sleep with him, she jumps right on him. Then many more unexpected things happen. The most unexpected thing is when all of the character suddenly move to a happy ending at the end. For example, Steve has a total turnaround regarding Mary, that comes out of nowhere. At the same time Mary has an epiphany regarding herself, which turns her around. She also has an epiphany regarding Steve, that causes the movie to move away from the standard Rom-Com ending into a more realistic ending.

But we hear loud and almost endless cheering for Mary and everyone winds up happy at the end.

This movie is worth a view just for the things that I did not mention that will come out if nowhere during the movie and probably make you laugh.

However, the message of the movie that - all people, no matter how they act, have worth - could get lost in the comedy and cheering.
