Weak

score 3/10

How anyone can find this movie romantic is beyond me (this is coming form a female of the intended demographic). It is your typical vapid shallow superficial Hollywood take on love, without having any of the sheen, glamour and high production quality of a Hollywood rom com. Therefore, it falls flat and is very tedious and hard to watch.

Not only is it completely unfunny, disjointed and filled with unnecessary profanity, it is also implausible. Surely the fact that Alex always chose some other girl before Rosie meant that he didn't really like her all that much and therefore could not be so in love with her for so long. I know that is how it works in that little land called reality. Therefore. I could never truly buy into this 'love story' if you can even call it that, although love montage would be more suitable. I also do not care for the actor who played Alex much. He doesn't possess a leading man quality and was not convincing in this role.

Romance must truly be dead in this day in age if this is what people consider to be romantic.
