Good grief! What a mess. Well, maybe not a mess, but a cheesy mess - a chess? The plot on its own has potential to be funny, but the way it's executed is pretty nauseating.
It's not down to earth, but it also doesn't completely give in to the madness and become one of those crazy but rather witty comedies. It's just sappy and wacky, expecting to be loved for its irritating, forced "charm."
The characters are unlikable due to their unrelatable NYC lifestyles; how many of us accidentally fall in love with our attractive business rival because we've been having heartwarming chats online? I'm not trying to be cynical, but I do hate sappiness.
The film attempts a 90s version of a Doris Day-Rock Hudson farce, but without the charm and humor. The last 15-20 minutes takes a helpful turn that should've happened much earlier.
Point being, you can take or leave this romantic comedy.*
*Romance and comedy not guaranteed.
