Michael's Movie Grade:C-
Review: Fairly enjoyable romantic comedy, never becomes anything more than that. Like too many romantic comedies, the comedy is never that funny. There are simply no true laughs. The romance part works better, while not anything especially great, it is kind of entertaining and the leads are fairly likable. Writer/Director Careron Crowe does manage to put in enough occasional nice moments to keep the chicle story from getting boring.
The acting is quite good, Braddley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel Adams and the rest of the cast provide their characters with enough likability that we can sympathize with them.
What really works in the film is the soundtrack. The choice of songs fit the movie to a tee. Whenever a song comes into the background it enhances the enjoyment and effectiveness of the film.
Overall a pleasant time passer, but nothing great.
