Plot 411: Opposites attract and sparks fly in the age-old battle of men vs. women.
Review: OMG, this movie was so BAD! And that's bad in a bad way, not bad in a good way. Katherine Heigl plays tv producer Abby who is a neurotic control freak of a woman. When her boss brings in chauvinistic Mike (Gerard Butler) for a new segment on her show, she is determined to hate him. However, when some of his dating tips help her snag her doctor neighbor Colin (Eric Winter), she is at least willing to hear him and his outrageously sexist remarks. First off, the CGI in this movie is absolutely horrendous. It was like watching a movie from the 1950s where the actors are in front of a moving background screen. I mean, c'mon reallhy? In 2009 they can't do any better than that? Another bad thing about this film is that it doesn't develop characters for which you actually care. Even with some of the predictable character arcs in place, I really didn't like or care for Abby or Mike. To top it off, Butler's off-and-on accent was just distracting throughout the entire film. Sometimes you could hear his Scottish brogue and other times you couldn't. Pick a team Gerry, pick a team.
Watch It: Maybe if you enjoy Heigl as Dr. Izzie Stevens from Grey's Anatomy. You might actually cut her some slack if you do.
Skip It: For 27 Dresses or P.S. I Love You if you're really feeling in the mood for a rom com.
