putrid . bad acting and directing and storyline . the story have a lot of promise and along with a cast include holly hunter and kathy bates . ron livingston a her boyfriend be about a charming here a he be a post it note break up artist jack berger on sex and the city . brittany murphy be too charisma free to carry a starring role . she be fabulous in clueless and i love her in it and a a secondary character part . romantic lead and no and no and and no . i just could not stand her in this role . way too much carly simon music . unbelievable end and land a job with diane sawyer and meet carly simon on the same day . my opinion of this movie have nothing to do with it not be a typical happy end movie where the girl and guy live happily ever after . lot of truly great movie have ending like that ( casablanca to name just one ) . it be just bad bad bad . kathy bates look lobotomized through this movie while perhaps she be hypnotize by the paycheck . the only good thing in it be kevin sussman . take a pas .
