    There is no chemistry between Leary and Bullock, no plot development, no originality. Both are cardboard characters. For lack of anything else going on, the movie is reduced to an exercise in the use of heavy NE/NY accents. I am a big Leary fan and usually find Bullock sharp and adorable and I wanted to find something to like in this movie but after about 70 minutes I just couldn't stand the cliches and overall boredom. Not a single laugh. Not a hint of originality.

    If I had seen this in a theater I'd have walked out. And I love Leary and Bullock. No chemistry between the two. Script is lame. Hard to watch.

    I realised too late this was an earlier movie Sandra Bullock was in. It is a corny story, very much unbelievable. I could not really detect any type of chemisty between the two stars. Very much a below average movie for me.
