Not only is it not just another rom-com, but in parts is wildy funny & actually has a brain. Brittany Murphy was made for comedy whilst Holly Hunter & Kathy Bates are both hoots respectively. Thankfully the movie isnt ruined by a predictable & cliche ending & is a pleasure to watch. Plus, it has a fantastic cameo that sets up one of the movies funniest moments. Along with 13 Going on 30, this is one of the few rom-coms from last year that strayed from formulaic & just invented its own direction. It saddens me that this film has received so many negative reviews because it is actually really good.
