Category: EnglishThis film was entertaining up until the first half, I didn't know there were 3 female writers behind this. But now that I read about that it makes a lot of sense. A LOT actually!
Gerard Butler's character is actually the exact same way women would imagine a chauvinist or a misogynist to be like in person. Some of the things he says are pretty generic, there's some insight into how he talks about women and how they think for themselves but once again it's a very by the book approach! Thank God he didn't go on - there would be some trade secrets that would have to come out then.
The plot is there for you to watch, if you see the trailers you already know it so I won't go into that. Katherine Heigl has now a formidable lineup of chick flicks behind her now and can most likely prepare to rocket herself into the big leagues, this movie helps that endeavor. Gerard Butler is very convincing as the man who goes from treating women as pets to treating women as equals (in some ways). It's still a chick flick though so the initial plot is just accidental to the end. The end has to be a feel good end and so it is.
I was personally laughing at quite a few places but it could probably have done a lot more if there was different input about certain scenes and dialogues. The supporting cast isn't much of a support and hence the film has to be carried on by it's leading pair and they do a decent job.
Recommendation level: 1/5
