Why the hell was this movie 2 1/2 hours?


It was already a bad romcom, but it's terribly painful to sit through just because of how long and dragged out the plot was. Whoever was the editor for this movie deserves to be fired.

If it was so “bad”, why did you sit through it, much less care enough to write your thoughts on this movie?

It wasn't my turn to pick what movie we watched. I really hated it and I'm not even someone that hates romantic comedies. The plot was cliched up to the point it felt like I was almost watching a parody of romantic comedies. Im shocked this was something that was actually released in theaters and not dumped on the Lifetime/Hallmark channel. Even as a fan of Jack Black he was horribly miscasted in this. And as I mentioned the unnessecarily long runtime just made this a painful slog to get through. I really can't even think of anything positive to say about it.
