I went into this expecting a romantic comedy. Or at least something completely romantic. But the romantic part in this movie, is pretty small. It's actually a drama. With a touch of romance thrown in there for good (or bad) measure! The drama really works quite well here. It's the romantic part that doesn't quite work. Not because of any chemistry failure between the two leads! No because it feels too rushed and too "unreal" too work.
Having Martin Sheen in the movie elevates it quite a bit, even in the bits, that are actually poorly written (when Mr. Sheen performs every sentence/line improves). And there is a bit player (may have seen him in his small role in "Things we lost in the Fire" and other parts) who gets a pretty big role here (dramatically) and delivers, although some things may seem a bit off.
Not really bad at all, but could have done a lot better without the love story in there!
