Reese Witherspoon is a lovable actress. When we see her in a movie we just want to root for her. Mark Ruffalo is not a lovable actor. He may be kind of good looking, but he's also kind of creepy. This makes for some problems here.
The premise is sweet and Reese Witherspoon is a great character, but the dialogue is lame and Mark Ruffalo is not able to save it. The conclusion is driven not by the characters, but by the plot's need to have it happen. The actions and behaviors of the people involved are unbelievable, and it just doesn't gel as a romantic comedy. Good try, but not good enough. 2.5 stars.
