I kinda tune out in the middle. The potential is there since we have been running out dry from rom-com movies with big stars.
Also coincidently this movie comes out as I was in the mood for Legally Blonde and thus I'm in the mood for Reese Witherspoon.
She looks fabulous here and Ashton also looks good to look at.
Unfortunately, they don't have much interaction at all and the whole movie is just not that interesting. Not much comedy, not much chemistry between the main character due to their distance. Sleepless in Seattle developed more connection despite the long distance and communication through radio.
Definitely a miss opportunity...
I do like Zoe Chao's character. She's like the best friend to have. Supportive, rich, and fun to be around. A scene stealer.

The film was a delightful and charming movie that left a smile on my face. The humor was well-timed and the story was cute and engaging. Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon both delivered strong performances, bringing their unique comedic styles to the film. However, despite their undeniable talent, there was no real spark or chemistry between the two lead actors. This lack of chemistry was a bit of a letdown as it detracted from the overall romantic atmosphere of the film. Nevertheless, it was still a fun and entertaining watch, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and heartwarming scenes. The supporting cast was also fantastic, adding depth and dimension to the story. Overall, the film was a fun and light-hearted movie that would make for a great date night or family movie. While it may not be the most memorable film, it's definitely worth watching for its light-hearted and charming atmosphere.
The most average rom-com possible. Hallmark films have more life and originality. I found myself longing for a guy in flannel to sweep the lead of her feet. While those films have the same basic storyline at least they're entertaining.
Vanilla ice cream is my favorite. Vanilla movies are not. Who doesn't like Reese Whitherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. But not in this dull, flat, lifeless film.
Steve Zahn and Tig Notaro were wasted and those roles could've been played by no name up and coming actors to at least give someone new a shot.
Perfectly generic. At least it had a good budget so the production value was nice. Good job with the LED volume scenes in New York.

I really wanted to like this movie as I am a fan of Reese Witherspoon and love her work. Normally. However watching it I asked myself what happened to her acting (mediocre and so not up to par with her other work), whatever happened to Ashton Kutcher's face, and whatever happened to their chemistry (virtually nonexistent). It's fine as light entertainment for an evening in when you're sick, but unfortunately not what I expected. I'm puzzled.
The story is kind of foreseeable, the characters a little shallow. The best performance is by Steve Kirsch (in a minor role) who was the only one getting a giggle out of me.
I like Witherspoons work so much that I almost feel guilty for being disappointed, but there you go...

I enjoyed this romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher...maybe because I am of a similar age? I loved the Cars heavy soundtrack and how it was tied into the storyline with Peter Coleman's father. I thought it was slightly different for a romantic comedy in that our two romantic leads have little to no time together in the whole film...and yet their love story is believable as they have been friends for twenty years! I did like the very Pillowtalk approach of having a split screen depicting the two in their very contrasting lives.
I enjoyed the humor and droll delivery of Tig Nataro and the quirky lines by Steven Zahn as the unpaid billionaire gardener/neighbor who is playing "the long game". "Begonias while you're Be-gone?"
But my favorite character was actually Minka played by Zoe Chao...beautiful with great comedic timing!
If you are a romantic comedy fan, I say give this a watch...you just might find, like me, that you enjoy it.
