Utterly boring and predictable. the two never hated each other just were competing while liking each other. A classic example of why so few rom com movies are being made for the big screen these days. Even if you know the couple will get together there ought to be real tension - something real that needs to be overcome before the final - We are together - kiss. Think Pretty woman where Gere still has to get over the fact Roberts was a hooker or Notting Hill where Grant has to get over his insecurities of not being famous and seeing the actress for a normal person - just a girl standing in front of a guy asking him to love her. So often like in this movie the plot ahs nothing of real iife tension . The leads are like adolescents that don't know what they want in life as the only obstacle which takes nothing to overcome but a recovery from their own stupidity which the audience has identified in the first 15 minutes of the movie anyway. Worse - Boring unoriginal writing almost as a color by numbers rituals in just about every rom com offers up some alternative to the obvious lead love interest and then knocks him/her out 15 minutes later . In this movie its the sweet caring nerdish guy which the writers then take off the table by making him talk too much about trivia as if the writers didn't get the 1980s memo that "nerds" are now major entrepreneurs, can be very in tune with listening to women and shapers of the worlds with running facebook, twitter and Google. Finally with our divorce rate at above 50% when are we going to get real with roamantic life - the mean guy that you like because he ooozes tough masculinity is quite often the guy who cheats on you but whats the message of this movie? go with conventional sexiness ( as determined by who?) and all will work out and the heart will not be disappointed. Call me when they make a movie where unexpectedly the sweet guy turns out to be the one that lights your sexual candle. Happens in real life all the time. or when theres a REAL issue keeping the couple apart. until then the rom com genre is dead and should just stay on Hallmark with the other paint by numbers no talent in writing scripted TV movies. Won't change anytime soon either with all the four and five stars given out by some to unmemorable predictable movies like this one.
