Customer Reviews

Run-of-the-mill boy-girl situation comedy.

Every contemporary actor has to do at least one of these formula predictable comedies. These movies are “Hollywood” machine-cranked-out of the factory to placate the proletariat. Keep people happy, keep the economy going, and distract us with the same formulas. I am one of those people who do not mind watching these movies, yet I think of how many hours were wasted saying "stay in the car" or "don't do that". Someone familiar with that sort of genre may be able to discern between a three-star and a five-star version depending on the type of acting and the subtlety of the story. However, for me, this just looks like another part of a long chain where the situation comedies with “boy and girl” misunderstanding each other until they understand each other, and would have been better off misunderstanding each other. Now, sit back and enjoy the twists and turns as Stan and Zoe (Alex O'Loughlin and Jennifer Lopez) anticipate and observe parenthood. The background sound is more like a musical review: "Bottles" "A Beautiful Day" "Chrystal Rain" "Disco Lies" "Say Hey (I Love You)" "You, Me & The Bourgeoisie" "Let's Finish (Sinden Remax)" "Fallin' For You" "Key to My Heart" "Daisy Belle" "Golden Slippers" "Mool Mantra" "Crabuckit" "Sweet Calypso Woman" "Pizzicato Waltz from Sylvie" "Trumpet Voluntary" "What a Wonderful World" "She Drives Me Crazy" "What is Love?" I have only seen the Blu-ray version of this presentation, so I cannot comment on others. However, some of the scenes would have been better in a much, much lower resolution. There are the standard extras that we just take for granite is on DVDs as deleted scenes and the making of. For the socially orientated -Live.
