watching movies one cup at a time

Just plain awful. This movie is a classic example of advertising bait-and-switch. The trailer for this movie clearly portrays it as a light romantic-comedy, some cutesy piffle with Drew Barrymore falling in love with Luke Wilson. But when you actually watch the flick, it’s really about this outrageous scenario where Luke Wilson and his crazy brother are manipulated by their psychotic mother to harass their step-father, killing him in the process, and going after Drew whom they believe knows what they did. There are fighter jets, people dying, attempts on Drew’s life (her character is pregnant btw). Granted it still TRYS to be a romantic-comedy, but this whole crazy story about the step-dad and the psycho family out to get Drew is just weird and poorly done. It sucks for people who may rent this thinking it’s something like Riding in Cars with Boys or Never Been Kissed (2 way better Drew Barrymore chick flicks), because it’s totally not what is advertised. It’s way, way worse. Avoid at all costs.
