The premise of the story evolves around the idea that you can't make somebody love you no matter how hard you try. The conclusion seems somewhat different and less believable to me. It's highly likely that this feel good romantic comedy will be relatable to some and humorous enough to keep you engaged. It's not gonna get the earth shaking beneath your feet so much, as it is just an easy watch. There is plenty of cartoon like exaggeration for comedic effect, yet it's relatable to so many.
Often the idea of trying too hard can be a repellent, maybe equally as much as not being physically attractive. As well as trying to be somebody you are not. In the end people inevitably try putting on a persona to attract the opposite sex which leads to more issues further down the line, when they find out and not what expected they after all. I believe this movie covers these topics loosely. With elements of the other guy always getting in the way, sticking his nose in, yet too often the other guy is a smoking mirror, as the downfall tends to be the person themself either being to needy or pretending to be someone they are not. They loose site of themselves are therefore unattractive focusing to much on the woman they want. Nobody should have to change to be with somebody and if they can't accept that person or aren't attracted to them the way they are, well, seriously, it's time to move on.
(Ryan Reynolds) Chris Brander wants Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart) yet he is just stuck in the friend-zone and has been for some time. The cast are all suited for the roles they play conveying the characters with an overemphasise on the importance of oneself and the goals they are trying to achieve. My personal favourite in the film has to be the performance of (Anne Faris) Samantha James emulating shades of real life young pop stars who have gone off the rails at times due to the overwhelming stress of fame. The Samantha James character appears eccentric and somewhat Britney Spears-Esk. (Chris Klein) Dusty Dinkleman is the annoyingly good competition for Chris Brander and feels much like an arch nemesis popping up at all the wrong times for Chris Brander.
The direction and writing is standard for this type of genre mainly relying on the actors to bring it to life with their personality and charm. Each actor and actress works in this film and it's difficult to be critical as they are the life of what would otherwise be a basic method of storytelling. If you haven't see this I'd say it's worth at least one viewing, just to make you realise there is more than one person out there for you and you don't just have to devote so much energy into your high school crush. If it's meant to be, it will be so let thing fall into place naturally.
