it's a movie for movie lovers, not for discriminating cinema critics i own it and have just enjoyed for yet another time after a year or two interval. you have to be someone who like Pitt showing his goofy side. look at him in 12 monkeys, watch the zany moves. it appeals or not. to many of us, it's quite enjoyable. it's not supposed to be deep. it's only supposed to be incidentally moving. it's a Comedy! Of course Pitt is inept and on point from scene to scene, that's how the character is obviously drawn. of course Roberts is lost and wacky. ditto. okay they're stars. can't they still do a 'small' movie without being lambasted for not turning in a movie worth an Oscar!?!?!?! it has sweet twists. it moves with a symmetrically crafted exaggerated sentimentality, it's intentionally Designed that way. if you love, say, The Big Lebowski, how can you not put this on your love list as well. If you loved Snatch, you'll love this. Don't let there over analyzers get to you. You can see from all the comments and voting how this type of film puts people in two camps. These are really talented actors who get what they're up to and a really talented director doing great work. Just love it.
