Absolutely the worst movie.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

I'm on a Mark Ruffalo kick at the moment. So far I've watched seventeen of his movies, not in sequential order but just as they come up on Netflix, Amazon or any of the other streaming channels. The reason: Mark Ruffalo is pretty awesome in everything he's in. Even in execrable pap like 'View From The Top', his performance shines with authenticity and pathos. I normally like Gwyneth Paltrow too, and she didn't do a terrible job in this, hampered as she was by the god awful script, clunky editing and with the enormous albatross that is Mike Myer's when he's really hamming it up.I'm not going to say much about the plot (there wasn't one), or the supporting cast (forgettable) or sledgehammer message (live your dreams baby), but I will say that the outtakes over the credits at the end were some of the most tragic, manufactured cobblers I'd ever witnessed. In the words of another reviewer; 'I felt violated'.

*Spoiler Alert Just another fluffy movie where a woman works hard for her lifelong dream only to give it up for a sub-par man who didn't even consider meeting her halfway. He could've given up his dream for a future with her. However, in a very true to reality situation, she gave up her life for his. Too bad because this movie could've been so much better if he relocated to NYC to be with her or if there was no sexual romance at all but a focus on a woman setting life goals and achieving them. It's too bad too because this movie really could've been better if it had just focused on the main character and her dream. More character development could have taken place as well as adventures throughout the country and internationally. Alas no, more cultural brainwashing re-affirming to audiences that women should and do prize men and love over self, dreams, career, developing into a complete mature person who values their wholeness over accommodating a man who does not consider meeting you halfway in terms of creating a life together, etc.

On a very slow night, I watched this flick and was generally surprised at the physical comedy Gwen was willing to put herself through. I really enjoyed this film. For it's ridiculous nature. It's fable quality, and real nice (yet mostly overused) concept of home is where love is. And it reminded me that the journey with someone is better than the journey alone. Everyone needs a co-pilot and it's a sweet message (albeit sometimes outdated). I feel. a movie like this is genuine, and returns back to a time where we may not have been so cynical. If that's their angle, I would say...it's not a bad thing to be sweet.

I have flown most of the world and have come to the conclusion that almost all cities are forgettable, including Paris. The city I have flown to most is New York; nothing special. I have been to Cleveland about a dozen times and always had a good experience while not working. I spent most of my time in the suburbs, like Shaker Heights, when it was a classy area. There is nothing wrong with Cleveland. If the producers had used Milwaukee (my hometown) to demean, a charming city that has retained its' character, I would have burned down the studio which made the film.As for Gywneth, she is cute, but not a high quality actress. Mike Myers was good as well as Candice Bergen. The movie, however, was bland and predictable. The ending was stupid, showing Donna (Gywneth Paltrow) as a pilot. It must be nice having a famous father to enhance nepotism.In Les Halles (Paris prostitution area) a pigeon dumped on my head while my friend was in a house paying for sex. That's my most vivid memory of Paris. I'll take Berlin or Madrid over Paris. Actually, my hometown is my favorite city and, unless you are born in a tiny berg, most people feel the same as I.The film is forgettable, at best. And, stop using Cleveland and Newark as the 'pits.' I can think of much more deserving cities (Minneapolis - Plasticville, no charm, Houston, New Orleans (slums), Seattle, where is rains constantly and Phoenix, with a super high crime rate and hedonistic residents). Then, add Chicago, minus the suburbs, which are very livable.
