the basic premise of this film could have be vehicle for a thousand gag and one liner . however and this film try to take itself a little too seriously for be tout a a comedy . there be some funny shtick bury in this film and but it be spread way too thin to be call a comedy . it do have a chance to redeem itself in the romantic category right up to the end and but literally turn it back on what the audience be expect no happy end . a a result it turn a great premise into a dark comedy and reflect a sad slice of life . instead of a dark successful comedy like war of the rose and we end up with a film that fall flat . my guess be that the director try to please everyone with this film instead of follow his vision of what the film should be . the result film will end up do poorly even a a dvd rental .
