Music: Good songs, used badly.
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, ). Every romantic comedy cliche, and not funny. Given the cast, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that their intention was to spoof romantic comedies - that it's intentionally unfunny, and that's what's meant to be funny.
