Hermione S Dec 15, 2017 This film is just not funny. it's worth a watch if you like rom-coms and have nothing better to do, but it's only mildly amusing and a lot of the jokes full flat. See more
Rey W Aug 23, 2017 Paul Rudd is decent but everyone else is just going through the motions.
Draco L Aug 23, 2012 Been done a million times but I like this Cinderella story.
Rey S Feb 8, 2009 10/29/2017 (2): Meh. A good cast, but not near funny or memorable enough to set it apart from other romcom's.
