Review: Oh you Gerard Butler! Trying to be all funny again when you’re not. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind him at all in non-actions roles. I sometimes get tired of him being action guy and like it when he takes on other stuff. I liked P.S. I Love You as well as The Game of Our Lives, but this is just "some ole bullshit" as reviewers at Spill.com would say. First of all, this movie has been done before. We've all seen the bickering couple brought back together by a dangerous situation movie before. If you want to deign to go there, then do it right. Butler's character was unlikeable, I felt sorry for Aniston's character most of the movie, and the "plot" was an afterthought. The only funny part of the movie was any scene with Sudeikis. A real genuine scene out of this muck was the restaurant scene at the B&B. There was some real chemistry and character development. I enjoyed this in the theater only because I got to see it with my husband. Aniston and Butler should consider this flick a zit on their careers that I want to pop and forget about. Better option-True Lies. Even Did You Hear about the Morgans? was better because of Sarah Jessica Parker and better character development. Good dramatic option- If Only.
Fun Facts: Sarah Jessica Parker was considered for the role of Nicole Hurley. When Milo presses the re-dial button on Nicole's phone to call her mother, the dial tone indicates that her phone number is (123)456-7890.
