Absolutely Brilliant!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Well, let me just rephrase that a bit. A definite contender for the worst major film ever produced. There certainly have been worse films, but generally only those made by virtual amateurs on independent budgets or fly-by-night film studios.From 1994's "Speed" through 2007's "The Proposal", Sandra Bullock was one of my favorite actresses. And then this film came out, and sense then I haven't watched any of her newer films. For me, she simply lost the golden touch.I have to admit that it doesn't help that her co-star here is Bradley Cooper...never one of my favorites. Thomas Haden Church...this is a professional actor? Ken Jeong...way overrated. DJ Qualls as Howard is interesting here...a quirky actor that brings something interesting to many of his roles. Katy Mixon was pretty good. And it was interesting to see Howard Hesseman as Bullock's character's father.The plot here actually seemed to have potential -- a slightly weird young woman begins stalking an imagined lover. Okay. That could be funny. But this director attacked the film as if he was on meth. Waaaaaaaaaaaay over the top...and that's what ruined the film. No wonder this was a popular Raspberry award winner.I don't say this often...but I wish I hadn't watched this film.

I'm not sure of the templates of repeated form each person is comparing this film to give such poor commentary, but in my opinion if ya sit back and allow the film to just be what it is and tell it's odd story, you might enjoy it. The film shows characters we might have all met and dismissed as little odd, and if there's a slight intensity to stereotype, this is seen almost all male and female counterparts, in fact ken in this film is perhaps the only character that comes from a stable viewpoint, he even feels a little odd by contrast in the end. To me this film shows an intelligent look at different people, on the anxious to avoidant scale of what ideas of love and attraction mean to them, with almost all the main characters acting obsessive in other parts of their lives, as reflective of modern times, with a little comedic timing thrown in. No one character is completely mental, each just bumping into the other creates the story, rather than the main character's lunacy, which to my mind was just her trying to take a leap of faith, in belief in love in a cynical world, to which she is pushed as much pulled herself. If you can't see a little of yourself in this film to laugh at, I'd be surprised.. It's not a traditional rom com.

I completely disagree with the critics here. There is some pity to have but there is nothing wrong about it. Sandra just nails the character in an hilarious way. Most laughs I had in a while even compared with bigger comedy guns. This film is a little gem. The heroine is fun, likable, beautiful, energic, hilarious, skillful but just a little goofy and virgin. No pity to be had. Plus, it's a film. The only bit I didn't like was the moralising at the end. Hilarious!

This is Sandra Bullock's best film. Superb acting. Those who gave a lesser review think comedy should be about drunk men/boys in Las Vegas. The writing and supporting cast are great It's annoying that my expensive streaming accounts don't offer for free. There too many young actresses that have good face but terrible acting.
