Such an underrated movie


This movie is one of the best romantic comedies - unpredictable, quirky and excellent chemistry between the leads. Add to it the delicious madness of Anna faris and the outlandish act of Chris Klien, this movie was a masterpiece in this genre. Lets not forget the great soundtrack and the score. All in all, i cant believe it is 47% on RT and 6.2 here. It deserves atleast a 7.5

I couldn't agree with you more.
For me, this is the funniest Ryan Reynolds movie. Anna Faris is friggin HILARIOUS in this!! And like you said, the excellent chemistry is there with this cast.
I have this DVD set aside with my Christmas movies. I LOVE that it's filmed in a true winter with REAL snow!!
I have it on HBO right now. Such a favorite of mine!!


Why is it so difficult for some to understand that "casted" is NOT a word. It's just CAST.

Yea this is funny as well as a lot of heart. Going deeper, the interactions felt so natural. When jamie sees chris after 10 years, the first reaction is that of flabbergast-ion and bashfulness. That was a gold reaction. Also, we all had our first loves and we cant get over them. So this movie was relatable in that sense.

Pleasant, but hardly a "masterpiece". The main problem IMO is the dialogue lacks a lot of zing and sparkle. 5/10🐭

I agree! I love this movie it's one of my favorites. The music is great I have the soundtrack. And all the actors are awesome. And it's a great quote able movie!!!

Underrated indeed - and, in my opinion, Ryan Reynolds' best comedy. It's interesting to me, the amount of praise heaped upon, say, Knocked Up and Bridesmaids. I'd sooner watch any given scene with Anna Faris in JF than either of those films.

I've been watching it every Xmas for almost ten years. I believe that many people knock it because of Ryan Reynolds and many guys hate him for being a favorite among the gals.

Masterpiece is abit too far

This movie was dumb as a box of rocks, and only slightly more entertaining. I loved it when I was fifteen but...I'm not fifteen anymore 
