All these anagrams are far more interesting than this beige, bland predictable snoozefest.

A comedy like Him, but for women.

-"Hey I'm a manly man"
-"Hey, I'm a career-obsessed woman"
-"Wanna make this movie not funny?"

Ein paar gute Gags, ein guter Gerard Butler. Ansonsten typisch RomCom. Kann man mal schauen.

Eu comecei a assistir esse filme hoje, porque estava passando na HBO e me lembrei que tinha escutado boas críticas sobre ele. Daí, com uns 30 minutos de filme, me dei conta que já tinha assistido ao filme, mas não lembrava tanta coisa. Bem... isso não era bom sinal! hahahaha
De fato, contudo, o filme não é ruim. Eu odeio comédias românticas e, talvez pelo fato de ele não ser bem uma comédia romântica na primeira hora do filme (ao menos não uma espécie usual do gênero), eu consegui me divertir. Então isso já é algo positivo.
Entretanto o filme cai no mais do mesmo do gênero, gradativamente, a partir da segunda hora de filme, culminando no típico final tosco…

Never been a fan of Katherine Heigl, and sadly there was a lot of Heigl. It's not her fault just a personal taste-sorta-thing. Gerard Butler has been more hit or miss for me, and thankfully he delivered. Unfortunately, Butler couldn't save this predictable rom-com from being an unfunny, sometimes boring, and really predicable (especially the ending) movie that I'll admit, had sexy popcorn flick written all over it.

Comédia romântica das boas!

romanticises women as just sexual objects for men, as i remember it.

Polite society insists that I hate this movie, yet it keeps making me genuinely laugh and keeps giving my ladyfriends ideas for fun future arguments & thought experiments.
And look at that goddamn poster. Look where Casey Ryback's niece holds her heart, and then look where King Leonidas holds his. So simple, so refreshingly R-rated -- an indication that the film isn't scared of fulfilling straightforward rom-com clichés & obvious pop-psychology signposts because the jokes, hook-up scenarios, & social prompts contained in its script are actually solid. Some of the physical gags are also damn funny.
Yeah, she's a formulaic careerist with some tightwad traits, but Katherine Heigl & her character are actually down for whatever.
Yeah, he's a formulaic sexist pig character, but… -
Aikuisten makuun kolahtavilla seksistisillä läpillä eteenpäin runttaavaa romanttista hömppää vähemmän siirappisella otteella. Normaalitasoa onnistuneempi teos siis.
