Michael Ledo Richard Haig (Pierce Brosnan) teaches the Romantics at Cambridge where he meets an American student Kate (Jessica Alba) and after 6 months she is pregnant. Richard does the right thing and goes with his young bride to LA, which is "a lot like Cambridge with palm trees and chicks with tans." Meanwhile he has met Kate's half sister (Salma Hayek) and we pretty much know the plot after their first encounter and subtitle "Every good love story has three sides."This is a romantic comedy that has no heart. I didn't establish feelings for the characters. Richard and Kate are initially developed to the point of us feeling "meh" about them. While it has a happy ending, it didn't grab me. It was not a Puffs moment. It is a film you will soon forget as Salma Hayek's butt/side breast gets posted to Mr. Skin. Ho-Hum.Guide: F-bomb. Sex. Brief rear nudity. Jessica Alba bra/panties.

niutta-enrico A convoluted story appositely made to show on the screen some very good actors, the Ocean, Cambridge (UK), College classrooms, beautiful houses, beautiful cars, beautiful people…I know (we all know) how hard it could be to write an original comedy these days, so I won't complain. But this really was (in my opinion) one of the laziest script a man can conceive to justify the mixing of the above mentioned elements together.I'd like you to know in advance what is expecting you: nothing boring, nothing unpleasant, nothing unexpected, nothing you could possibly believe (or love).

simonetti-33557 Everything about this movie is cliché: the story, the dialogs, and even the ending. The cast is made of great actors, but not even they were enough to save this film from a catastrophic failure. Most of the characters add absolutely nothing to the plot. The direction, however, was the worst part of the movie. Some continuity errors were quite amateurish, like the scene {MILD SPOILER FOLLOWS} where Olivia (Hayek) is driving Richard's (Brosnan) Mustang: they leave their house with the child's seat quite visible in the backseat. Throughout all of their drive in LA, the seat is not in the car (as in completely removed), but when they arrive at their destination, Jake's school, the seat is again visible. This mistake is so amateurish, so basic, that from that moment on my hopes for a good movies went down the drain. Do yourself a favor and watch something else. Like the police say in crime scenes: "move along, nothing to see here"!

siderite I believe Pierce Brosnan is perfect for the role he had in this film: a university English teacher that is both lecherous and intellectual, romantic and a total ass, a good father and a terrible partner, yet lovable and accessible nonetheless. Such a character has a fantastic potential to create a wonderful story.However, the story was sub par, the other characters cardboard and so many opportunities were missed out again and again. If I were to rate this film on the characters, I would have to give an 8 or even 9 to Brosnan's, but something close to 3 for Jessica Alba's. Salma Hayek's wasn't a lot better either and Malcolm McDowell, as the father, was 0-dimensional! I understand old actors get fewer jobs, but have you seen any of this guy's films? Can't you see how much better he could have been if given some good material?Bottom line: it's an American Britspoitation film, based entirely on Pierce Brosnan's charm, with a little bit of McDowell sprinkled in the cast to get old people like me interested. So much story potential and so many talented actors completely wasted by Hollywood accountants.
