This was a typical romance film. Adorable but typical.
I'm going to start by saying that Gerard Butler pulled off the role pretty well. He's a versatile actor with a sweet, yet dangerous side. He can play nearly any character. From Law Abiding Citizen to Playing for Keeps, Butler is solid in any role he plays. The supporting cast in Playing for Keeps helped him carry the movie, but he firmly stuck the landing in this romantic comedy. I give the acting a 6.1/10. The sole reason my opinion is so low is due to the fact that Jessica Biel could have been more convincing in her character. She lost me a few times.
The production is almost disappointing for me. Everything was nearly on point EXCEPT the camera work. My own wife pointed it out! I understand some directors and even viewers enjoy the bouncy camera angles and dramatic swaying during the more intense scenes, but I did not enjoy it. However, that's one of my only production complaints, so I give the production a 5.5/10.
