By-the-numbers Romantic Comedy

If you're a fan of romantic comedy, or if you've had to spend some evenings on the couch with a fan, you know the basic plot of this movie all too well.

Patrick Dempsey plays a charmer who adamantly refuses to settle down and Michelle Monaghan is his long time friend looking for stability and a serious relationship. Dempsey is about to make his move when he learns that she has met a guy and plans to marry. The rest of the movie is about pulling out all the clichés in the romantic comedy genre.

While the movie is not great, what makes it bearable is that there are bits of humor here and there that work. It's certainly not the best entry but it's superior to many recent movies and you don't feel like skipping any part, which is already better than 27 dresses and other films of that ilk.

Patrick Dempsey was OK as Tom Bailey but unfortunately, I think he lacks the comedic chops and sex appeal to pull off his part. Monaghan is well cast but obviously, nobody in this film put extra effort in what was from the get go a vanilla genre movie.

Kevin McKidd feels underused and for that matter, so does Scotland has a wonderful background. Fans of the genre will be pleased while others will scratch their heads at the film and the choices made by the characters and wonder why they needed to see a movie that tells a story we have been told repeatedly for decades.

For my part, I'll give it a 5 because it was effective enough not to be grating and allowed me to spend a nice evening. If you have to watch a romantic comedies, you could do a lot worse.
