Took a long time to get anywhere. Wouldn't have sat through it except I like Sandra Bullock but it came to a totally different ending than I expected so was glad I watched it.

Bit of a no brainer but easy to watch

A different role for Sandra Bullock, but still a funny film. I'd watch it again and again!

Very perculiar and odd movie, I wondered if I might get through it at one point, but I did and I am glad I watched to the end. Nothing like i expected, very different, but nothing better than OK.

The reasons for creating such a movie was lost on us, Sandra Bullock was painful in this role and she is usually a great actor. We watched 30mins of it in the hopes it would get better but it did not. A one star rating is generous
Brian

Sandra Bullock would not have taken this role if there was not a message involved. Movie OK.

SHOCKING. That is time of my life that I will not get back. And I am a HUGE Sandra Bullock fan. How on earth did she get coaxed into doing that flop?????
Andrew
says
Quite different to what I was expecing. Not a traditional rom-com by any means, and quite a few funny moments. Thomas Haden Church is the scene-stealer, and the not so subtle digs at how the media works in these situations were terrific. 2 and 1/2 stars.

This was great viewing, but one of the main charactors was quite annoying.

I rented this movie to see what was so bad about it that Sandra Bullock could get a Golden Raspberry for it in the same year she won the Oscar for "The Blind Side". I was expecting it be really awful, but it was a sweet movie and shows what a versatile actress Sandra Bullock is. I would recommend it.

Sandra Bullock - charming and quirky and easily loved, Thoroughly enjoyed had to watch it over before returning.

an all right movie did like the ending but was a great story line

Was reasonably funny. I like Sandra Bullock and this role was quite different to what she normally plays. I recommend it but as one of those movies you need just in case you have nothing else to watch.

Better than all the haters said. Kind of weird, zany, but sweet by the end of it. Actually has a very good message in it about being true to yourself.

This isn't a comedy it is just a very sad tale about a strange, unmarried women who 'stalks' an unfortunate young man that was talked into a blind date by his parents. I'm a big fan of Sandra Billock comedies but was very disappointed in this movie. The best part is the last five minutes but don't expect the 'happy ending' where they finally fall in love and live happily ever after, the heroine doesn't get her man in this sorry tale! ! !

iT WAS DREADFUL COULDNT EVEN FINISH IT.
Ollie

Was Ok - certainly not up to her usual standard!
Carmel
says
Bad bad movie. Don't watch it

I'm ashamed that Sandra Bullock agreed to star in this movie! She is a brilliant actress and this really disappointed me!
Christos
says
Not her best, but worth a look....Weird in the beginning, gets slightly better as time goes on, but only has a few really funny bits already highlighted on the trailer..DEFINITELY not her best, though!
Thomas

A Good Movie, Not Great - Good. Had some very funny moments, but could have had many more.

Really liked this movie. Different role for Sandra. Recommend watching.

This movie was pretty lame, it did have a couple of funny moments, but not enough to make it worth paying for. Very cheesy and quirky, if you liked Miss Congenialty 2 you might like this. Maybe get the girls together (do not forget the booze), and dont expect much.
gabby
says
usually love Sandra movies but wasn't her best
K
says
Started out like who is this weirdo, but by the end it was wonderful.
I would suggest getting this movie out.
DH
says
SANDRA BULLOCKS CHARECTER WAS REALLY ANNOYING, BUT SHE HAS SOME QULITY ACTING SKILLS TO PULL OFF THIS CHARECTER. THANKYOU QUICKFLIX!
Brooke
says
For most of the movie my thoughts were 'weird, odd, stange' but by the end, it wasn't so bad. The very main character (played by sandra bullock) put me off, but she turned out to be sweet and kind despite her weird, antisocial behaviour. Still not my favourite movie though.
Terri
says
funny, Sandra played her part well, would recommend as a chick flick though
De
says
Quite a few funny moments throughout the film.
If your a fan of Sandra Bullock.. you will adore her character.
And a bit of eye candy for the girls with Bradley Cooper was definately not lost on this critic.
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
3.5 stars!
bell

Fun movie, If you love Sandra Bullock it is worth the watch.
Jacqui
says
Ending was ok, but very average rom/com. Way better chick flicks out there :(
Karla
says
Not sandra bullocks best but still a good movie, quite funny and light.
Leah Tamindzic
says
This is a great light hearted movie. Sandra Bullock plays her part really well, I giggled most of the way through it!
Richelle
says
This was a good comedy but I have seen Sandra Bullock in better comedies.
belle
says
this was a great disapointment
Marg
says
Worst movie I have seen in ages. Don't waste your time!!!
Peter
says
Poor romantic comedy relying on silly situations to get a laugh. Only watch if there is nothing else.
animallover
says
Not the best movie that Sandra Bullock has acted in. It was pretty funny at times but all the characters seemed so stupid. Sometimes it was so stupid it was funny. It wasn't as good a movie as I thought it would be
Kate
says
Let down.... don't waste your time.
Jo
says
Well... started out annoying but was meant to be (Sandra anyway...), end up being a funny movie but with the usual mortal message the Yanks love to incorporate into movies. Worth the watch in the end : )
Ian
says
Quite enjoyed this one. We found it light hearted entertainment - nothing to serious or stretching - but good for a laugh
Dee
says
Sandra Bullock movies make me feel ill.
Michelle
says
This would have to be one of the most boring, pathetic movies I have ever seen, Sandra Bullock was just embarassing. It was more like a very bad B grade movie.
Josh
says
Pretty funny movie, would recommend for a good Saturday night in
Tania
says
I wouldn't rave about this movie. It is ok if you want a bit of a laugh but it is quite silly in parts.
Annie
says
This movie isn't as bad as I thought it might be after reading and hearing some not so great reviews. But, in saying that I probably would recommend that you don't waste your time watching it
Hawko
says
I really didn't mind this. Funny and light hearted.
I don't know how Sandra Bullock won the worst actress award at the Razzies for this performance, I thought she was great - played the role very well.
Certainly more in chick flick territory, but I enjoyed it.

says
I really enjoyed this movie! very quirky and not the usual hollywood type film, but Sandra Bullock was awesome as an eccentric crossword creator still iving with her parents who goes on an adventure. The movie is both very funny and touching, and will have you cheering in the end for the character of Mary.
Jessica B.
says
While I've seen plenty of bad reviews about this movie
JT
says
Worst film of 2009? No, not even in the top-10 worst films of 2009, but other than Sandra Bullock, this film is a turkey.
Everyone chews the scenery especially Bradley Cooper, who did luck out by scoring the Hangover and the A-Team, but will be forever known as Jennifer Garner's whiny boyfriend from the TV show Alias.
Thomas Hayden Church, Ken Jeong, MC Gainey and Keith David are like Zegna suits at your local St Vinnies. It is hard to soar like an Eagle when the script is a turkey.
More of a chick flick.

Really enjoyable movie that was cast perfectly! I had no great expectations after hearing bad reviews however i love all bullock movies and this did not dissapoint. I thought the moral of the story was very sweet and well told.
Andy H.
says
it is not as funny as her other movies. Just quite boring, I turned it off after 30mins.
Ben
says
Fantastic movie, with great humour. Sandra Bullock was absolutely wonderful. Storyline was like no other, thoroughly enjoyable.
Linda
says
Trust me on this one...Just don't do it!
Jenny
says
Was ok nothing fantastic : ]

I thought it was an interesting movie. You don't usually think of the person who designed the daily crossword puzzle in the paper. But someone has to do it. Sandra Bullock portrayed the main character very well, and carried the movie. Although I think another actress I have seen would have been better -Zooey Deschanel, as she does have a certain quirkiness. Anyway, I recommend this movie as something light hearted.
Merrilee
says
This was a delightful suprise, without the traditional end which was a nice change.

I think Sandra Bullock played the part very well. It was the movie overall that let her down. It was just stupid. Shame.
