I'm not a big rom com fan but the reviews on this were too good to resist. Plus I'd just seen a Cary Grant movie that I loved (Charade) so I figured what the heck.
This one was just ok IMO.
My biggest thing was I just didn't feel the spark between Grant and Kerr when they were supposedly falling in love on the cruise ship. Maybe because the dialogue was so snarky but I never felt this amazing chemistry that would make them both leave their other partners. Also, I hate breakups in movies. They're often way too civil. In really life ending a relationship (especially an engagement) is traumatic and emotional. But in movies the person being dumped too quickly goes to "I understand and wish the best for you" mode.
Anyway, didn't hate it. Didn't love it.
