It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is a classic RomCom, but it shows abused animals in many different ways. People make fun about torturing and killing animals in a sarcastic way during the romantic story.

Okay, this was about as bad as I expected it to be although I did enjoy the Ray, Indiana townsfolk, in particular Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen who saved this from being unwatchable. Sarah Jessica Parker was essentially her Sex & The City character with a bad wig (what was up with her hair?) And Hugh Grant, jeez he was terrible, barely present for most of the movie, just wooden, seemingly bored and going through his usual bumbling Hughism's. Yup I was rooting for the bear.I often wonder why the studios even bother making these kind of movies, I mean they must know going in its going to be awful, its not like the script was original or even funny.In this fish out of water scenario a New York couple relocate to Wyoming under the witness protection program after seeing a murder. Despite the hassles, the change in scenery may save their marriage. -but due to zero chemistry between said couple, I think not. 2/11/14

Apparently my girlfriend likes the type of Romantic Comedy movie that people from the big city wind up in rural areas and have to cope with their surroundings. I found three of these type movies among the 15 or so movies we purchased for $1 each earlier this year. Yesterday, I watched all three. This movie stood out with more comedy and laughs than the others. Hugh Grant delivers good comedy when needed and Sam Elliot and Mary Steenbergen deliver some comic lines as well. At times Sarah delivers an occasional punch line.I found myself laughing pretty good at this one. The ending is mildly predictable, in a slightly unpredictable way, but you can guess that the couple will eventually get together. The reason they mend their fences more the reason to watch the story. Plus the ending is tension filled to a degree. For a laugh I recommend it.

This is a pretty formulaic comedy where some city slickers are moved out into the wilderness to live with the honest small town folk and get a perspective on what horrible people they are.I don't mind formulaic (what's wrong with using something that has been tested to work?) and this movie is propped up with a heavy hitting cast.unfortunately the devil is in the detail. To mix things up a bit the writers have made Ugh Grant a bit of a wet fish and Parker comes across as a bit of a bitch. I was constantly wondering why Hugh's character was wasting his time. There performances weren't great either, I know this is only a rom-com but it did feel like they were hanging around for their pay cheques.The laughs are there but are not particularly strong and when the plot crawls up to its inevitable ludicrous climax I didn't care one way or another.Not terrible but there are thousands more movies out there much better than this one.
