( do look for a different type of role soon and mr. mcc and that this viewer advice ) . the support cast be even well and with breckin meyer and lacey chabert and archer and and especially robert forster and douglas and add nice animation to a relatively routine script . the set and costume and and other production value be very fine . a for the direction and it be acceptable but definitely play it safe and result in a flick that seem far too middle of the road . if you be a fan of romantic comedy and yes and you will be in your element when you sit down for a showing and most others will find the film bearable . but and even so and low your expectation just a tad and for then you will not be disappoint when you realize it be not in the same company a such classic a notting hill or return to me .
