Perhaps the most formulaic and predictable movie ever made.


There's a lot of predictable movies out there, but this one takes the cake. Once you've watched 10 minutes and all of the main characters have been introduced, you might as well just shut it off and call it a day. I can guarantee you that you'll know how the movie is going to not only end, but how every single scene is going to play out as well. /yawn

I agree but it's a Rom-Com not a whodunit so I cut it some slack. Just because you know the destination doesn't mean you can't enjoy the journey or the people who take you there.

I knew the astronauts made it back, but I enjoyed Apollo 13. Pretty much everybody knows the end of a WWII movie, but I enjoy them. I know movies based on books or plays and I've enjoyed them. What's your point?

His point is we have all seen this movie countless times. It's another regurgitated piece of crap. Sorry, but it's true. There are refreshing takes on old, tired genres, but this isn't one of them.

Gee, I'd never have thought rom-coms were in any way generic.

Good rom-coms like Hitch, are all about the journey and not well-known destinations.🐭
