I don't think it was so bad. I thought it was actually a pretty accurate account of blind dating. I have (and still do, on occasion) dated guys from singles' services. You meet some nice people, and you meet some real jerks. You meet some guys who have mouths full of rotten teeth. You meet some guys who want to psychoanalyze your life after a 15-minute telephone conversation. You meet some guys who hold you as you cry through a flashback and help you through the worst times in your life--guys you'll never forget who will always mean the world to you as true friends. And, you meet guys who seem wonderful--ideal, even--for the whole time you're dating, but then you spend your first extended time alone with them, and find out they're a monster.
Yeah, the movie was pretty darned accurate. Lucy lucked out, actually. She found out the guy was a monster before she'd lived with him for three years and bought a house with him.
I was thinking through the last part of the movie, "Oh, no! She's gonna end up with Luke because David's the big-name star, and it's the Barry guy that she should really be with! He's the best guy for her! Darn it!" They surprised me! They actually surprised me! She didn't end up with Luke! I'm not going to say who she ended up with, though! I will say it was a surprise! All the guys really surprised me. I thought they were all kinda jerky in their own way at the beginning--one of them in particular. Heck, one of them wouldn't have gotten a second date with me! But, he ended up being a pretty decent guy. That shocked me out of my gourd! I really think this was a very true-to-life movie. I know a lot of people who saw it said it was stupid. I respectfully disagree. I recommend it to anyone who has ever been on a series of blind dates with different men. You will *so* be able to relate to this film! There aren't as many laughs as you'd expect in a romantic comedy, but there is a lot of heartwarming.
That's my review, and I'm sticking to it! :-)
