7.4 stars.
Ashton does not have the presence that Reese has in the emotion evoking department, however she is so good that she makes up for some of the lacking chemistry and charm. The young boy has potential, just wait 3-5 years and he'll be one of those teenage heartthrobs you see in every angsty high school movie, then he'll fly off the radar for 5 years and show up again all grown up. It's the same story for every good child actor and he's got chops for sure.
This film is a solid romance, the story is fine, the music pays homage to the 80's, easy to utilize a generic soundtrack like this paying tribute to the two main leads, giving us an idea of how old they really are: mid-to-late 40's. Although they don't really look late 40's, they are indeed at that place in life, boy who woulda thought either one of them would age this nicely, wow. Reese looks NOT A DAY over 37, Ashton looks a bit more like he's pushing 42 maybe.
This is a purely generic romantic comedy, light, fun, feels good. I suggest you try it out, who doesn't like all the actors? There are a few really funny parts with the gay female friend (she is hilarious) and the ex-girlfriend/stylish and snobby gal in NYC. Wow they have some pure gold comedy moments. Mr. Zahn was fine, but his part lacked comedic presence (not his fault).
