It is not so bad as to make you dash for the door. But you would not have missed much if you never entered the hall at all.

Predictable romantic comedy.

Structurally, the film's off-kilter. The start of the relationship is rushed through, while the supposedly crucial notice period feels increasingly directionless. Which leaves the comic strand - and that, by and large, delivers.

Bullock plays an environmental attorney who boasts that she’s like a "bobcat" and a "pretzel" in the sack — this is in direct opposition to the movie itself, which is more like a defanged kitten and a soggy cracker.
