Typical Romantic Comedy

from Miami, FL
If you dislike Cameron Diaz, you won't find her as hateful as usual in this bubblegum film. Of course the ice-queen NYSE hyper-perfect b-word that everyone loves to hate will end up with a guy who looks like Ashton Kutcher, and it will be so easy for them to fit perfectly together!
All unrealistic aspects aside... there were some funny (if predictable) moments in this rom-com, and I didn't hate it entirely, but I didn't find Diaz' transition from rough-around-the-edges perfectionist to total softie very fluid or believable. This is a great part for Kutcher, doesn't he always play the slacker bum who has some tragic flaw that a neurotic-yet-lovable strikingly beautiful woman comes along and fixes by adding in her quirks to the mix? He has come a long way from My Boss' Daughter, however, so I applaud his efforts, and I found him to be actually sincere in his performance.
So, go see it if you like deluding yourself with romantic comedies, or if you want to see both main characters in their underwear, either way they're good reasons.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
