but it was actually very funny. It’s stupid in a mocking way, like it’s a takeoff on all those old Rock Hudson/Doris Day movies. The cheesy stupidity is all part of its charm, and it makes it one very entertaining movie. There were a few parts where I even laughed out loud.

Renee Zellweger is one of those actresses I didn’t care for at first, but as her career has progressed I’ve actually come to like her quite a bit. And Ewan McGregor is always a pleasure to see in action—he’s ridiculously charming and just very, very talented. I like that they had him sing a bit at the end here, since we got to see that he’s got a great singing voice thanks to Moulin Rouge. David Hyde Pierce is an added bonus.

Excellent movie, very enjoyable, enough so that I might just get it on dvd.
