Sandra Bullock plays scatty, Mary Horowitz, in this light-hearted yarn about a crossword puzzler on the trail of her heartthrob, a news cameraman.
I got the impression they had a lot of fun making this film as the acting comes across as natural, and there are plenty of funny moments - as long as you're not looking for any hard-hitting humour. It is a completely zany story and one has to wonder who came up with some of the funny, but ridiculous objects of humour: a baby with three legs, a group of deaf children falling into a deep pit - I mean really!
Thomas Haden Church is excellent as Hartman Hughes, the vain CNN news presenter, as are his sidekicks Steve and Angus, played by Bradley Cooper and Ken Jeong.
Totally silly and total fun, not a comedy classic, but definitely worth sitting through.
