This movie is about as textbook romantic comedy as you can get. Every single element is covered here. Though completely forgettable and there will never be a need to see it again, I guess this is worth one viewing. The chemistry between Zellweger and Connick is pretty bland and I blame it on him. She is using all her acting skill and smirks and faces to turn on the charm but it seems lost on him. The worst part of the movie is the gross overuse of the comedic element of the _Fargo_-like Minnesota accent. We get it, they talk funny. The ending is clearly visible by the 30 minute mark. There is nothing to really hate here, but nothing memorable either.

Chick flick that is completely predictable, as per usual. A very generous 5/10

Is the premise behind this movie a classic rom-com premise? Absolutely. And I think that is where most of the reviewers get tripped up. This movie is decidedly NOT a rom-com. The movie works best as a drama. That said, I completely get the complaints. The movie is a bit schizophrenic as it doesn't always know what it wants to be. In some places dramatic, and in other places a comedy. I could swear that in other scenes the actors were winking at us. And the scene changes... yikes - even a Hallmark movie would blush at some of them. But you know what? It kinda worked for me. I thought the imperfections made the movie strangely charming, and by the end, I was invested in the love story. The love story isn't between the two leads, and that is what people missed. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies or facebook IHATEBadMovies

Predictable rom-com with some very good laughs. But hey, sometimes you just simply need to turn your brain off for a while. There's a good realism to the realities of MN as well as playing into obvious stereotypes, and there's a good balance there between humour and sincerity. Though the film definitely leans on the laughs through most of it! BUT by golly... someone give Blanche a hug, bc that woman is a gem!

A movie that puts two people togethers no matter how not realistic it is for it to happen. Just watching scenes that have no real consequence because you know the movie ends happy no matter what happens during it. Didn't give me a reason to keep watching so I turned it off.
