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.

A pretty and entertainingly comedic romance. I actually hadn’t absorbed the fact that it was set in the sixties but was immediately smitten with the traditional pop and funky title sequence, the combined use of old footage sat nicely with the OTT but cool reconstructed sixties interiors and splashes of colour coordinated pink and blue. Imagine if you dare, Austin Powers in Funny Face. The cast is nicely understated and contains a few amusing suprises such as David Hyde Pierce (Niles from Frasier; as, well, Niles) and Jeri Ryan (Six of Nine, as a stewardess).
