Okay for me I appreciate Luke Wilson no matter what he does but seeing him star alongside his real life brother Owen Wilson was good, also stars Will Farrell

An amusing little movie with plenty of laughs.

A very poor movie, you have to ask why they made it. I suspect it may have been intended to be a comedy, but it is not in the least funny. I think Quickflix should destroy all copies and delete it from their catalogue.

Ugh, couldn't make it past 5 minutes, terrible acting, lame script, an all around bore!

A little on the slow side. More of a romance drama than a comedy really.
Russell S.
says
Just reasonable but not recommended viewing. Forgetable characters, acting, directing and cinemaphotography. Flimsy plot and predictable sugary ending. 1 1/2 stars.
Sean D.
says
Great story but ruined by the traditional Hollywood ending
Katie S.
says
Not a great classic but just a good story with beautiful texan scenery and a fanastic country soundtrack. Appearances from some great veteran actors.

Only saw the first 10 mins - the lead character is a total loser so figured why waste time, and sealed it up and posted it back so i can get something better in the mail to me! might have been ok but also could have been pain for two hours. cheers. CB

With a great cast, I thought it would have been better.
