Lopez was brilliant but Fiennes was painful to watch!

Jennifer Lopez was brilliant. You utterly sympathised with her. And pretty too! I've never seen any of her movies before, though I've heard her songs and don't think much of them, she won me over.
Ralph Fiennes... I thought Schindler's List was incredible, but here he was conconvincing and emotionless... argh, that excruciatingly strained smile made me cringe. Should stick to playing those evil sadistic murderers he's so good at.
Oh yeah, and Stanley tucci was completely annoying.

I thought JaLo was good, but "brilliant"? No, OP, no. ...And you're wrong about Ralph Fiennes too. He was terrific in this movie.

Yeah, she was good in this.. I agree with you on Fiennes; he didn't convince me at all. Maybe he isn't cut out for these type of roles (romantic comedies).

He still remains a fantastic actor though.

I thank God I have none of you in me.

I watched this film and I thought that everyone was good in it. I am not a big J-Lo fan. I think that perhaps the reason Ralph Fiennes (who is an amazing actor btw) and J-Lo lacked chemistry is because she was a huge Diva on set and I think it's safe to say they didn't like each other.

I thought Natasha Richardson was hilarious, I think I would have preferred this film more if Natasha and J-Lo has swapped roles, but that's just my opinion.

I thought Jen was okay, but Ralph was definitely not at his best! But his attractive-ness made it all okay. :P He looked AMAZING!
