Genre: Romance, Drama
What to Expect : A bittersweet love story wrapped in a neatly complex package of hope and love, that ultimately gives us far less than it promises. Still, it's strong enough to give the romantic in you exactly what you're looking for. Perhaps that's what ultimately drags the movie down, its commercial desire to appease and please above all else.
Critical Response : Negative. Most critics contended that while the movie is indeed watchable, it has too many flaws to be a worthwhile adaptation of David Nicholls novel. Ironically, the author himself wrote the script for this movie and received praise for its wit, but it seems the writing and the director's vision were not a perfect fit. The cast received praises, but some took aim at Anne Hathaway, particularly for her unconvincing and distracting accent. Currently rated 30% on Rottentomatoes.com from 17 positive and 40 negative reviews.
