COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Somewhat Decent Film submitted by ErinDurrett on July 3, 2011, 1:13pm I have to admit that this wasn't that bad of a film. I was hoping to like it more than I did, but that is because I think it is marketed as a comedy, and I would consider it more of a serious film with some humor throughout. I personally don't like when they market films a certain way, but the film itself has a completely different tone. I think this happens a lot with dramedies, a film is marketed as a comedy, but is much more a dramatic film, such as the Bill Murray film Lost in Translation.
**Spoiler Alert**
This film is about Reese Witherspoon's character dealing with the fact that she no longer has a softball career and is not positive of the direction she's moving in. She dates Owen Wilson, a wealthy insensitive baseball player who falls in love with her, and Paul Rudd, a man who is about to be indicted for fraud that his father Jack Nicholson, is responsible for. Overall, this film does have some comedic moments and some touching ones, but because of my lack of preparation to watch such a serious film, I've rated it 3.5 stars (see? I'm being nice). Unless you are looking for a dramedy to watch and enjoy the actors in this film, this one can be missed. (P.S. Can someone please explain the appeal of Paul Rudd? I have liked some films he's been in, but I can't stand when they cast him as a whiny character, which if you ask me, frequently happens.)

it was okay submitted by codyson159 on July 9, 2011, 3:18pm it wasnt the worst movie ive ever seen but it definetely wasnt the best either

Bad.. submitted by ColeenT on July 13, 2011, 5:45pm I didn't even finish it because it was so bad

Alright submitted by poptart887 on July 14, 2011, 9:27pm This film has its moments, however is not nearly as good as i was expecting.

good movie submitted by Ele Z. on July 29, 2011, 9:21am its really good and funny.

Checked My E-mail while I watched... submitted by DTrier on August 9, 2011, 4:55pm and the e-mail was more interesting. Film was neither cute nor comical, both of which I was anticipating. Who wants to paint your nails to Witherspoon bouncing between two (in my opinion) less than attractive men after a sexist career slam. Not me.

ok submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 3:42pm this film was okay. the plot played out like all romantic comedies, but that's why we watch them. they give us that warm, fuzzy feeling. a fun fact: softball and baseball are no longer in the olympics anymore.
