Surprisingly Great!

Took my daughter to see the movie and was resigning myself to not enjoying it. I was pleasantly surprised to have not only liked it, but to have loved it. Yes, it's predictible, yes it's sentimental; in spite of that, the song and dance numbers were fantastic and the story line was enjoyable enough to pull you in. Would probably even see the movie again...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Romantic comedy? Not funny. Not romantic...

The laughs in this movie were few and far between. There wasn't much character or plot development, either. Instead, the movie seemed to rely on cliche and stereotype. I was disappointed. I agree with one of the other reviewers that some of the camera work was pitiful! In one scene in the restaurant, where Patrick Dempsey's character has crashed into the waiter for a second time, and both end up on the floor, the jerky movements of the camera, as it tried to pan in and then out, were distracting and, frankly, unbelievable. How does that make it through editing? The only reason I give this movie a fair rating is that my 11 year old daughter enjoyed it and I enjoyed watching Patrick Dempsey. The scenes of the Scottish country side weren't bad, either.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
