Loved it!!

One of the best romantic comedies I have seen in a quite a while. My wife and I saw this as a sneak preview and both of us along with the large audience were laughing all the way to the end.

Definitely Sandra Bullocks best movie and Ryan Reynolds was just perfect in this one.

Ryan Reynolds is becoming a star and this movie shows he can be a leading man as well as his perfect comedic timing. His facial expressions in this movie were priceless.

This one ranks up there with Sandra Bullocks "While you were Sleeping" and Ryan Reynolds "Definetely Maybe".
