It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I was hoping for a light, mindless escape. What I got with this movie was beyond a waste of time: poor plot, terrible dialogue, & totally inept, unlikeable characters. As a lifetime movie buff, I have sat through more than my share of lousy films. I would certainly add this to that pile of detritus.

I was hoping this film would be a fun hour and a half but instead all I could think was why was this script green-lighted. I love these two actors but this script really needed a re-write. And that's supposed to be Texas? I live in Texas; that ain't Texas.

I only watched this because I like Amy Acker and David Arquette and that's really the only reason to watch it, and sadly, is not enough. The script is boring and lifeless. I don't even know why it's listed as a romantic COMEDY because there is zero attempts at humor (beyond naming the Donkey Quxiote). But more than just dull the script is predictable. Once you find out David is playing a writer if you predict that his first book was very successful but that he's struggled since then and after moping around the whole movie it will conclude with him finding a fresh perspective on life and re-committing himself to his writing, then you're right. It's not a spoiler to say that's what happens because it's so clear from the start that that is what is going to happen. That's how the whole movie goes. She'll be temped to cheat on him, he'll make a big romantic gesture, blah blah blah. Just google "romantic comedy tropes" and go down the checklist if you bother to watch this. I wish these two charming actors would be in a movie I could endorse but this movie is just a complete waste of everyone's time. Sorry!
